Complete rifle weighs 14 lbs. I have 236 rounds through the barrel. Rifle shoots very well. I get 2990 fps and SD of 5 with either A-max's or Match Kings. I don't shoot this much at 100 yards since it was built for long range but has proven to be a less than 1/2 m.o.a. gun. I built this back in 2006 for woodchucks. It has taken chucks out to 1100 yards. Has enough energy with 140g Hornady A-max or 142g Sierra Match Kings for deer size game out to around 800 yards. Would cost over $3,000 to build. Selling for $2,100. I'm only selling to finance another build.

That barrel looks like a mirror and stock looks like marble!

I prefer metal barrels and wood stocks myself!:D
 
The color is considered "Imperial" It is red/maroon and grey/black. Rifle is excellent for woodchucks out to over 1000 yards and carries enough energy using 140g bullets for deer size game to around 800 yards. Would possibly consider a Nightforce 8-32 x 56 NXS scope and some cash for trade.

I've seen this gun in person and it is absolutely beautiful, along with evrything Kevin builds.
 
Boy, I see this gun at Kevin's all the time and it is sweet! Would love to have it! Kevin does nice work just built me a 6BR. This gun will not disapoint!
 
just checking too see if this gun is still for sale?? would you consider selling just the gun?? I have a scope already.. Just curious.. If not , I understand.. What are you building now?? A 338??
 
Yes, rifle is still for sale. I would consider selling without scope and rings for $1600 plus shipping. I'm building a .338-.408 and need to sell one of my rifles to fund this new build. If you have any questions about this rifle please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Kyle,
This is how I post a photo. I save the photo in www.photobucket.com
Once the photo is saved, under the thumbnail pic in photobucket will be a direct link. Highlight it and copy it. Now on the thread in www.longrangehunting.com you'd like to post the photo click on the small icon that is a yellow square and has a small mountain and sun. You will get a URL space to paste your photo direct link in. (delete the http:// first though) your photo will then appear in the thread.
