SOLD/EXPIRED Full Custom 30 Nosler - 300 PRC's Big Brother

[Gamesniper19]

I am selling this fully custom 30 Nosler, which is the ballistic big brother to the 300 PRC. Draw a great tag or is your gunsmith telling you its going to be 12-16 months to get a custom rifle right now? This is a great rifle for and N. American game and would work well on all African plains game up to an including eland. It has less than 200 rounds through it and comes with the following:

• Defiance Deviant LA - trued to the build and barrel
• 24" PROOF 8.5 twist bbl with brake - able to stabilize even the 245 and 250 gr Bergers at ELR distances
• Custom dipped McMillan Stock - Adj cheek piece - dipped this year - pillar and glass bedded
• Timney elite trigger - set at 2lbs currently and can go to 11/2 lbs if needed
• 20 Rounds of hand loads - 212 eldx behind Retumbo seeing 2990 fps and sub 1/2 groups. It could go faster but why, it likes this node. On a good day its about .28 and on a high caffeine day about .36 LOL. Ill share the cocktail with the buyer
• Nightforce rings - lapped to the scope
• Pic rail and flush cups mounted and will stay on rifle

The bipod is NOT included.

• To build this rifle brands new would be around $5200 and asking $3499.00 without scope
• With Kahles 624 FFP scope with LH adj and Mil reticle it would go for about 7900 asking $4999.00 - thats almost a 3k savings

The 30 Nosler is ballistically superior to the 300 WM and the 300 PRC and on par with most of the wildcat magnum 30s. You can find ammo over the counter if you needed to and components are usually available, when it is not 2020 / 2021 craziness.
This is a fine rifle. Built by a master gunsmith and cared for very well. Will give you years of great shooting service. Please ask any questions you might have.

Thank you, its about 11 lbs as it sits. On purpose. I prefer my magnums right about 10-11 lbs for shootability. Old shoulders LOL

I have had the 300 PRC v 30N discussion with many people. The 30N holds more case capacity. As such, it is going to shoot bullets faster. It is simple math and physics.
Using stock factory data directly from Hornady and Nosler with bullets that are of like weight, the 30N is faster. I think about it this way:
If I was loading or shooting any 30 cal rifle and with a 210 grain bullet, I could figure out how to get an accurate load to move 150fps fast would I - yes. Every time and every day. So it is faster and it is ballistically superior

Custom reamers and improving a current case is not what we are doing. We can all modify or wildcat anything and I have many times with tons of experience in doing so. That said, if you modify a 300 PRC and a 30N with the same modifications, the 30N will still be faster cause it pushed more powder - period dot.

This is a fine rifle. Built incredibly well and arguable with the finest materials and components available to the general public - I stand by it and my data. If someone does buy it, they are getting an excellent piece of rifle technology that will serve their needs for many years.

OP put those words in his ad and I find them to be very misleading to potential customers that may not be knowledgeable on the two rounds. But I'm done here.

You are done??? Dropping negs on someones ad is clown move. My sense would be most anyone buying a custom rifle would know.

If you are going to comment, have the fortitude to follow through.

To be fair, apples to apples meaning standard or the same modifications, should be the basis for the Ford V Chevy discussion. And I'm using the word discussion loosely in this case.
I can say that a 6.5 CM is more deadly for Elk than a .338....and if I'm the one shooting the .338 and and an accomplished shooter is behind the 6.5, then that statement is correct, because I changed a very important variable.
I seriously doubt anyone considering buying the .30N is gonna make such a big purchase based on a flippant comment that categorizes one caliber's size to another. And if someone did, the 4-5 rounds per year they would likely put through the rifle would render the basis for the decision totally inconsequential.
That said, I did find some of the info in the post interesting and educational....for me that is. It's a shame it couldn't have been communicated in a better way that didn't result in such a confrontational exchange.
Maybe we can all learn from that.

The OP didn't mislead anyone and he chose to put some nice wording in his posting, no harm in that at all. On a positive note, at least you keep getting bumped to the top lol.

I apologize if I offended in any way. When you have experience with the rounds rather than discussions and understand how capacity does not always equal greater performance when compared to a case with better design dimensions that utilizes the propellant more efficiently and effectively in certain bore diameters then we can continue this discussion at a later time. Best of luck with the sale. It's a beautiful rifle. Happy to keep bumping it to the top for you
