The condition of the rifle is very good, but it is NOT new in the box so there are a few handling marks on the metal. No chips or scratches in the stock paint. It produced MOA or better three shot groups with the following factory loads, Federal Premium 150 NBT, Nosler Custom 180 BT, Hornady Superformance 180 SST. The optic is NOT included, but the 1" Talley mounts are. The rifle will ship in the factory Plano case with manual. Rifle will ship from my local FFL so there will be no issues with your FFL receiving from an individual if they have a policy against doing so. 1200 Shipped (within the 48) Not looking for any trades, thank you.

Do you have any close up pics of the wear, handling marks or any scratches in the metal? Any other issues with the rifle? Thanks, Craig

Any other issues with the rifle? Thanks, Craig I am the original owner. I own too many desirable rifles (admitting you have a problem is the first step). I do not have any more pics and would rather not go through getting any more. The rifle is sitting at my FFL waiting to be shipped to the buyer. It is probably considered 98% shape. The bolt and raceways in the receiver have evidence of being cycled.
