box stock Accumark I bought for a project and never got to it. according to previous owner has 18 or 38 (cant remember) rounds through it (I know the guy). one bear hunt in alaska. some small ickys from being carried. not perfect, but very nice. comes with leupold rings if you want them. I've got 77 once fired and 54 new unprimed brass for an additional $150.00, asking $1300 for the rifle plus shipping and insurance to your ffl.

stock is perfect. front ring on reciever has 2 scratches that are not visible from 2' unless you turn in the light just right.
3 0r 4 small dings/scratches on flutes, can feel them better than see, cant see from arms length. bottom 2 flutes are perf. was some rust/patina when i bought 5-6 years ago on rear of reciever. rubbed with clensoil and reassembled. oil soaked up a bit of the discoloration, came off on my finger. bedding block rubs on reciever and has discoloration, may polish off with some elbow grease. when it went to alaska it got wet for a bit. did not pit metal, just took bluing off and left stain. rest of rifle is rust free. trigger guard has small rock rash. floor plate shows sharp edge bluing loss, very little. bases/rings were put on with loc-tite and residue remains on reciever, i didnt try to get it off, just rubbed down with clensoil and put it away for 5-6 years. i also have new in package talley 20 min. rail and warne 2pc. steel bases for this rifle. would take 66% of new added to purchase of rifle (70.00). thanks for your interest.

A 340 Accumark was my go-to rifle on my annual Black Bear hunts in BC. A 340 absolutely flattens a Bear.
 
I've killed several dozen elk, moose, deer and antelope with factory 210 Partitions (3,250fps). It is a hammer but also shoots surprisingly flat. It remains one of my 2 favorite rounds. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need a backup..
 
I have a LH deluxe, loaded 250 grain aframes which are running 28-2900 if memory serves me. Shot a bull eland this summer in west texas bullet went through both front shoulders right at 500 yards, hurt him bad still took a good follow up shot to anchor him which isn't uncommon with LW of 17-1800 lbs. Traded for a RH model gave to my oldest which he was worried about recoil, i talked him off the ledge to go shoot it before you say needs a brake. Well it doesn't have a brake, now your not going to waste ammo out of it! LOL The 340 performance is unreal, i have all the confidence in the caliber and this would be one you'd wanna take in the mountains and have some fun! Very good representation of the guns condition, good luck with sale! If i needed another i'd buy this one!
 
Still got, ready to hammer anything you want. I bought a lapua, shoots pretty good. Otherwise I was going to get ptg to make me an "improved" reamer for this 340. Every Accumark or Ultralightweight Weatherby I ever messed with shot very well (Krieger barrels). Im sure this one will too.
