Hello all,
I have a new custom 6.5x47 Lapua, only 20 rounds through the tube for sight in and grouping. The specs are as follows:
27" stainless steel fluted Lilja 3-groove 8 twist barrel with Vais brake
Stiller TAC-30 action
20 MOA Picatinny Rail from Stiller
McMillan A1-3 stock
Shilen Fully Adjustable Trigger
Standard Remington BDL bottom metal
Glass bedded
Stock has been stripped, filled and sanded for DuraCoating. The rifle can be DuraCoated in any color and/or camo you like by LoneWolfArms, a certified DuraCoat finisher.
It is still in pre-DuraCoat mode, so it's a little ugly but you get the idea. Anyway, I shot 8 rounds from a bench to chronograph and get on paper. I was shooting Lapua factory loaded 139 grain Scenars. I must admit that I was disappointed in the consistency of the ammo. Of my 8 shots I had an ES of 234 fps, which is just unacceptable. Low end velocities were around 2481 fps and high end was 2715. So anyway, despite the inconsistent ammo I was still able to generate some nice groups. Groups were fired off the bipod in the prone position. I only fired a couple of groups because I had very limited ammo. Both groups are sub 1/2 MOA and I'm sure with good handloads it will do even better.
I'm asking $2600 for the rifle shipped in a hard case. Included are RCBS reloading dies, 100 pieces of new Lapua brass, and 300 Berger bullets (130 and 140 grain). Scope and bipod are NOT included, but the 20 MOA picatinny rail is.
Thanks!
