Need to raise some cash for an upcoming hunt, This is one of my favorite rigs. This custon rifle was built by well-known gunsmith Kirby Allen out of Montana. You can check out his website here: https://apsrifles.com . Custom components for this build are as follows:

Action: Lawton 7000 Repeater with 20 MOA Base. All gunsmithing work (blueprinting action, chambering, barrel tenon threading. muzzle threading) was done by Kirby Allen.

Bolt: Fluted by LongRiflesInc.

Barrel: Lilja Match Stainles Steel in #4 contour. Finished at 26" with 1 in 8" twist

Brake: Defensive Edge by Shawn Carlock (indexed)

Stock: Manners Ultralight Carbon Hunter (now known as EH Series) with Five Color Cerakote in Kryptek camo with installed short picatinney rail

Trigger: Huber Concepts 2-Stage set at 1 lb.

Bottom metal: Std. Rem 700 BDL

II have nearly $3,500 of top quality parts & gunsmithing labor in this build. Lawton was a machine shop that specialized in custom rifle parts. It closed after the owner passed away. Also included with the sale of the rifle: a set of Redding 6.5-06 AI dies; 148 of 2-X fired 6.5-06 AI Winchester brass fully fire-formed from 270 Win brass; Hornady modified case for bullet seating test; and bore guide. The rifle weighs 8 lbs. as is. It shoots in the 0.5 MOA range when you do your part. It loves both the 130 gr. Accubond and the 156 gr Berger bullets (3,075 fps) - very stout load. The ballistics of the 6.5-06 AI are equal to the 6.5 PRC. This rifle has taken everything from coyotes to elk. The stock has some paint chips near butt stock from normal field use. If you do not want the 2-stage trigger, I would be happy to reduce the price by $200 and keep it. Rifle saleis cross-posted. Price is: $1,995 shipped.
