I have a Christensen Arms Classic in 28 Nosler I bought on here just over a year ago for a plains game African hunt. It worked great and helped me take 12 animals. It dropped an eland at 525 yards, 2 kudu between 250 and 300 yards, and many other animals in the 150-500 yard ranges. The caliber is awesome and the gun is super light weight. It weighs just over 8 pounds with gun and scope.
Gun has a Huskemaw blue label scope 5 x 20 x 50 with a custom double stack turret setup for the 175 Grain Nosler ABLR round fired at 3125 FPS, 1200 feet of elevation and it will get you out to about 1400 yards. Scope sits in TSP rings and has vortex flip up lens covers. This is an awesome hunting/long range scope and the custom dial is awesome. Also, comes with the factory MOA dial too if you prefer that or do a different load development.
The gun has been upgraded with a Trigger tech special trigger and a McMillan A3 Fiberglass Sporter stock, and upgraded bolt knob. This rifle is a lightweight hammer. I am shooting the 175 grain ABLR well under sub-MOA and the previous owner got great results with H1000 and Berger 180 grains. He bought everything new in July of 2017 and fired around 80 rounds through it and I have put around another 100 or so.
I also have a massive amount of factory ammo, hand loaded ammo, brass, factory custom dies, and bullets.
Here is a list of all the loading/ammo items:
1) 205 one time fired brass (71 in gun, labeled and marked). 47 polished. All Nosler brand
2) 23 three times fired brass (last round fired in gun). All Nosler Brand
3) 7 one time fired Hornady brass. Fired in gun.
4) 30 hand loaded rounds for ladder testing.Various loads and data included but may want to pull as I found other loads shot better.
5) 29 factory Nosler 175 ABLR rounds,
29 factory Nosler 168 grain custom competition rounds, and 13 Hornady ELD X factory rounds.
6) 300 Nosler 175 Grain ABLR bullets. These have some cosmetic blemishes but I can't notice a difference and Nosler guarantees they don't affect performance.
7) Around 50 or so Berger 180 grain VLD hunting bullets
8) Around 110 Berger 180 grain VLD Hybrid Target bullets
9) Whidden Full Length Bushing Sizer and Seating die. Comes with two sizing dies. I had Whidden make a custom die for this guns chamber and it works great. I will also include the non custom chamber sizing die as well. It is marked with the sharpie lines on the side.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something but this really is a total package for anyone looking for a long range hunting rig that is already turn key and has plenty of room and options to develop. I have some load data I can include but this gun loves the factory 175 grain load from Nosler. I have all the brass and bullets to reproduce this load on my own to save money and to fine tune it even more.
Only reason I am selling is because I live in Missouri and don't need this much gun for whitetail hunting which is about 90% of the hunting I do. Previous owner had about $5500.00 into the gun alone without all the reloading equipment. I have around $1,500 in all the brass, dies, custom die, bullets, factory ammo, etc. I would sell the complete package for $4900 shipped in gun case to your FFL. I will ship ammo and loading gear separate straight to your house. Basically this is getting around $1500 of ammo and extras plus all the time it took me to fine tune it for free.
****Atlas Bipod NOT included***
The groups below are groups with the 175 grain factory ABLR at 100 yards and the other more spread out group is at 400 yards.
Feel free to PM me with any questions. I will send what load data I have with the gun. I can send more pics upon request.
