For Sale is a Ryan Pierce built lightweight rifle chambered in 6.5 Sherman Short. It started out with a 22" Proof barrel and it was an absolute tack driver, shooting the Berger 156 EOL at 2,940 fps, the Hammer 124 Hunter at 3,250 fps and the Hammer Hunter 85 grain at 3,850 fps all under 1/2 MOA. This is a very versatile cartridge in a very well built rifle.
It's now wearing a new, un fired barrel chambered and installed by Ryan. I would expect it to be extremely accurate and perhaps a touch faster with this 24" Benchmark barrel.
I've got an almost identical version of this rifle in a long action that was just re-chambered in 300 WSM and its shooting sub 1/2 MOA with two different bullets. Ryan builds extremely accurate rifles.
Here's a photo, I'll attach more shortly.
Components on this one include:
Pierce Engineering custom titanium short action with DLC coating
Pierce picatinny rail
New, unfired 24" Benchmark 7.5 twist Sendero light carbon barrel, threaded 5/8-24 with thread protector
Manners EH1 carbon fiber stock in Swamp camo with sling cups on the left side and on the bottom
Manners lightweight adjustable cheek piece
Picatinny bipod rail at forend of stock
Area 419 Arca rail near mag well
Hawkins Hunter DBM bottom metal
Accurate Mags (2)
Trigger Tech primary trigger
Hornady 6.5 SS dies from Sherman
Lee 6.5 SS factory crimp die (custom, used with the Hammer bullets)
50 rounds of new, unfired 6.5 Sherman Short head stamped brass
Load data from previous barrel to get you started
Optional
Tangent Theta Marksmen 3-15x50mm scope with Gen 3 XR reticle
Nightforce six screw rings with bubble level cap
Tenebraex scope caps
The bare rifle weighs 7 pounds 9.4 ounces. With scope and rings it weighs 9 pounds 11 ounces. This is with my uncertified kitchen scale. Bipod not included.
To build this rifle alone today would be over $6,000 and the complete package would be well over $10,000
Bare rifle with new barrel, dies and brass - asking $4,495 plus shipping and insurance
Complete package with scope and rings - asking $7,495 plus shipping and insurance
I also have 500 rounds of Berger 156 EOL's on hand that I will sell to the buyer at my cost if interested. I won't separate the bullets or scope and rings until the rifle has sold.
I will accept cash if face to face, money order or check by mail. Will wait to ship from my FFL to your FFL (CONUS only) until funds have cleared.
