Here is the link to the original add when I purchased the rifle. https://www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/ssg-custom-7mm-300wsm-defiance-benchmark-a3-5.222951/

I have brass and dies to complete the set up. I am going to build a 300PRC but I will take a pistol A/R 223 as a partial trade if it's nice.

Thanks!

I have had some inquiries about load data. I shoot the 180 Berger hybrid at 2990fps using H1000 with a es of 8 if you anneal the brass. I have either 50 or 100 rounds of new brass that has been annealed along with the brass I have been using. I have tested the 197 SMK and at 100 they do fine but I have not shot them any farther.

I like a lot about this rifle. Are the action and barrel stainless or carbon steel? Where you located?

 

[TAZMAN]

I am in Central Indiana. Action is 416 stainless and the barrel is also stainless. They are both coated.

Bad rig brother!

 

[TAZMAN]

It really is very nice to shoot and would make someone a great rig. I bought it with a intent to go out West but that never happened and I just shoot it once in a while when I want to remind myself how it shoots. I have had some offers but not quite where I want to be. If it sells then someone will get a great full ready rig. If not then I may swap the barrel or just keep it in the safe.

Thank you for the compliment on the rifle.

I have the same setup and shoot 168 bergers with 58.5 grains of h4350 and it shoots bug holes. its a great round.

 

[TAZMAN]

I shot some 162 ELDM's and they shot great also but the 180 just seems to be a real sweet spot for this rig. I am surprised it hasn't sold but money is tight these days for a lot of people.

 

[TAZMAN]

May take a new BR2500 rangefinder as a partial trade if that will help someone out. Must be latest iteration.

One time price drop to $2700. If it doesn't sell I will have it converted to 300 PRC or put it back in the safe. I think this is a more than fair price for this rig and set up.
