Hate to sell this but I don't shoot much anymore with my new job unfortunately. I primarily used it to shoot steel. It went on one hunt as a 6.5 PRC and didn't leave the truck. Killed a couple coyotes as a 6mm creedmoor. With a barrel vise and action wrench it's a breeze to swap barrels. I don't have any group pictures because I tossed all the targets when I moved but I will double check my phone.

Here are the specs

DLC Coated TL3 short action bought new from Altus around a year ago. Standard and magnum bolt faces. 20 moa rail. This action doesn't have many rounds on it, in fact I'm not sure I've ever had the PRC barrel on this one. I had another TL3 at one time that most of the rounds on the barrels where shot.

Trigger Tech Primary flat shoe

Manners EH1 Swamp bedded by Caleb at Alpha and Omega for his personal rifle, I bought it used off of him. Flush cups left side, front and rear. 4" Atlas rail.

Hawkins M5 bottom metal
1 AICS WSM 3rd mag
1 AICS 308 5rd mag
APA Little Bastard 6.5 brake

24" Proof carbon fiber sendero 8 twist 6.5 PRC chambered by Caleb at Alpha and Omega. 5/8"-24 muzzle. Shoots 147 ELDM with RL26 half MOA all the way to 1000 yards. I bought the barrel used from Caleb also, it was on his personal rifle. 350-400 rounds on the barrel. Caleb shot 100 factory Hornady 147s through it, I shot the rest with my handloads.

22" proof carbon fiber sendero light 7.5 twist 6mm creedmoor chambered by Strait Jacket Armory. 5/8"-24 muzzle. Shoots everything sub half MOA. Berger 105 vlds, 108 eldm, berger 80 and 88 gr varmint bullets. All with H4350. 300-350 rounds on this barrel.

No bipod, scope, brass or dies included. I may possibly sell the scope and 6 creed stuff later or if a buyer has interest as a package with the rifle. It's an NX8 4-32 x 50 MIL R FFP

This is an outstanding rifle with top notch parts and gunsmiths involved. I just don't shoot like I did a year ago.

Trades I'd be interested in are similar rifles ( carbon fiber barrel and stock, manners,, Ag,, mcmillian) but with more of a traditional style hunting stock with BDL bottom metal or preferably a built Tikka like the PRC @cowboy57 is selling or parts to build a decked out Tikka

Rifle with both barrels $3500
One barrel of your choice $3000
Not wanting to part out yet but might later if nobody wants a complete rifle.
I'll cover shipping you cover insurance

If I still shot steel out my back door like before I would never sell this but I'd rather build more of "my style" hunting rifle than keep staring at this in the safe and not getting to shoot it
