McMillan .280 with Nightforce SHV

[Stk]

I'm selling my used G. McMillan & Co in .280. It's a great rifle and very accurate but i don't care for the weight of it. I prefer something either lighter or heavier...it's a midweight and I find myself grabbing my lighter rifles for elk hunting and heavier rifles for antelope. This rifle is built on a custom McMillan action and has what I think is a #3 contour barrel. Unknown round count but it's a hunting rig and has plenty of life left in it. It does have some minor scratches on the barrel and marks on the stock...it's gotteb plenty of use. I never really did much load development with it, but I do have a recipe for 150 gr Barnes TTSX that shot .6 MOA when I took it to the range yesterday to test it out. I usually shoot Hornady Superperformance GMX through it, and it absolutely loves those. It shoots them under a half-MOA and has produced multiple one-hole groups with it. I ran out last season and couldn't find any more locally so I loaded up the Barnes. Mounted on the rifle right now is an excellent Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 I'm willing to include for the right price.

I'm asking $1500 for the rifle or $2200 for the scope and rings included. Awesome turnkey setup on a custom action! I'm always willing to trade too, so let me know what you have.


RIFLE ONLY REDUCED TO $1400. RIFLE AND SCOPE $2100.

What trades are you looking for

 

[Stk]

Could use a good set of binos, a lightweight rifle in deer/elk caliber or .223, could always use more scopes, etc. Let me know what you have.

280 rem or 280ai?

How muchdo you think it weighs?

 

[Stk]

280 rem. Probably around 8.5 lbs but I can weight it later tonight.

 

[twintips16]

With scope or without

 

[Stk]

Just weighed it on my bathroom scale. 8.9 lbs with the nightforce scope, should be 7.5 lbs without it. Lighter than I thought.

 

[preston326]

I have a custom build by Kevin Neitzel from Accurate sports. Its a 308. I can send you pictures if you like, shot only one time.

 

[Stk]

Thanks. I looked at some of the older pictures on here. I think I'll pass. I'm sure it's a great rifle but I'm not a fan of that stock.

I'll bet there is all kinds of big game in those mountains.

 

[Stk]

Sure are...I used this rifle to take a large-bodied mule deer right up there last fall.

Do you what brand barrel & twist rate ?
Thanks

 

[Stk]

Brand is McMillan. They used to spin their own as far as I know. Not sure on twist rate, honestly.
