After much deliberation about which rifle to sell to thin the herd down it unfortunately came down to this. I told myself I'd never sell another gun but bills need paid.
Here is the thread to what I have done with the rifle https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/270-sherman-build-completed.152046/

The rifle is in excellent shape. Only a couple minor blemishes from moving inside the safe and hitting other barrels.

All work done by Shawn Thomason at Diamond T gunworks in Craigmont, Idaho

Rifle specs:
Rem 700 long action trued
Factory BDL
Timney 510 (I believe is model)
27" 1:8 twist 3 groove #5 Lilja

I'm leaning towards keeping the stock since I have done a bunch of work to it and it is just the factory stock that I stripped the gloss finish and properly finished while adding a comb raiser and changing the angle of the pistol grip, bedding action and adding decelarator pad. Unless someone really wants the stock I can make a deal to include it. Otherwise this is going to be a sale for the
complete barreled action, BM, and Trigger.
Whidden Custom Dies

I have $1660 into this build
$350 Smith
$320 Barrel
$550 Action and bottom metal
$165 Trigger
$275 Dies

I'll also throw in a 25 count of new 270 Win Norma brass for the new owner along with more load data

I'm had Shawn Thomason bore scope it a month ago and said it looks like normal wear on the throat and still plenty of life in it. I have not been good on keeping track of round count. It still shoots excellent. The picture attached is a group I shot last week for the ad. I pulled the last shot like normal and knew it as soon as it broke. Still a shooter though!!!

$1200 shipped (USPS money order or certified check only, No California sales)
Shipping from an individual, If you need it shipped from an ffl the cost will be added to sale.


I am also going to list the NF and can add to this deal for an additional $1200 if it goes with this package otherwise price will be different sold separately. I'm going to keep the rings and base.
The scope is a C 230 5.5-22x56 NP-R1. I have all paperwork and box for the scope.

Thanks for looking! I'm happy to answer any questions.

Am I out of line with thinking 60% of new is a good deal? There has to be some 270 cal fans out there needing a rifle. I can sell without the trigger for $900.
