I have a 340 Weatherby Mag
Remington 700 long action
Built by Dan Dowling (one of the best benchrest gunsmiths)
Schneider stainless steel 26 inch. Barrel, 1 in 10 twist
No free bore
Over sized recoil lug
Tuned Remington trigger (about 1.5 lbs) This is honestly the best trigger I have ever felt.
Blue printed remington 700 action
Piller bedded
Fired 200-250 rounds.
20moa steel scope base
McMillan htg stock
Lapped burris xtr 6 screw rings
Around 100 pieces of prepped, unfired norma brass (holes drilled, necks turned)
50 loaded rounds
Dies (forster fl sizing die, redding seating die)
Load data
Horus ASLI - level/angle indicator with leupold mount
Also includes a short piece of barrel chambered at the same time and with the same reamer the gun is chambered with so you can properly seat your bullets to the rifleing (I can't remember what this is called)
Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 included with box and paper work
Shot several 5 shot groups in the .325" range at 100 yds
Gun alone was over $2450.00 when built
plus all of the extras really add up.
weights about 12 lbs with scope (bathroom scale)
can provide additional pics if interested
$3000 for the package plus actual shipping
First pic is this year sighting in for hunting, 1" squares at 100 yards. This was the three (3) different bullets I tested, 200 grain ballistic tip, 225 grain accubond, and 250 grain round nose.
Three shot groups of each. As you can see the largest group was the accubond at about 1" and that was my fault. Subsequent groups tightened up and it's what I used. I just wanted to show that this gun shoots everything I've put down it well.
Pic of gun, I have Velcro on the cheekpiece that I will remove before shipping. I have it there to hold a pouch.
I am not an "expert marksman". I shoot before hunting and then go. I would love to see what this gun can do in the hands of someone who can really shoot.
