Re: Savage Custom 270 Weatherby for sale!

In case anyone is curious to what this cost to build- New model 116FCSS 680, base 37, rings 30, sling 16, scope 580, stock 200, trigger and mag parts 90, ammo 180, RCBS dies 35, redding die 33, barrel 345 w/ nut and that's just parts. $2,226.00 and I will split this up if necessary.

Thought I would add that it has exactly 37 rounds through it, if you do the math it will come out to 38 but 1 of the factory 150 grn spires was pulled to figure out weatherbys recipe for why those rounds pass through the chrony at 3365fps. Also this rifle is not freebored, that makes it faster contrary to some beliefs that the jump start makes them faster, in reality all the freebore does is minimize the initial pressure spike.

Price lowered, plus if not the package then 1,250.00 for rifle and accessories and 500.00 for scope, rings and caps.
