Looking to buy more of Melvin's guns or "share his rifle" as he puts it. Interested in any caliber. I have had a lot of Fieldcrafts. Looking to step up.

It might seem crazy but not sure I’d sell my NULA 284 for 7k!
Good luck with your search.

Liftman101, send me a pm with your contact info. I have a friend with a Colt that he sent to Melvin for carbon stock and trigger group. His is in 7 rem mag, less than 10 rounds fired since he bought new.
It’s a beauty and if I needed another I’d grab it.

Just a boost of confidence, I’ve done business with this potential buyer and he is a fine gentleman.

The 280 AI for 7K is unfired and includes a $3000+ Zeiss V8 scope. Perhaps not such a bad deal.

It is a worthy competitor for the Barrett and the Kimber. Weighs less than the Barrett and shoots better though not with all types of ammo. The TI action is not as smooth but it feeds well. My Weatherby weighs 5 lbs 6 ounces scoped with a Leupold 3-9.

I recently traded into a minty CLR in 30-06 that I have no use for in case you want to start with a receiver and build exactly what you want from there on up.
