Serious inquiries only.

I will only send pics when I speak with someone over the phone.

This a sub 1/2 MOA rifle.

205 Rounds fired. Shoots 127 Barnes LRX's, 129 Nosler ABLR's & 140 Berger Hunting VLD's very well. Lighter one's are around 3300 FPS & 140's @ 3250FPS

Chamber: 6.5 x 257 WBY in a 28" Proof Barrel Sendero Taper (last of the 28's) Comes with a two port side discharge muzzle brake ( Gunwerks design ) & Thread Protector.
Action: Defiance Deviant Hunter- Mag Bolt face Integral Rail & Recoil Lug
Trigger: Jewell HVR- TS
Stock/s: Bell & Carlson (M-40 style bedded) / New HS Precision vertical grip sporter/ varmint (un- bedded)
Scope: Nightforce G7 5.5-22x 50mm
Bottom Metal: I have regular BDL bottom metal & HS Precision detachable with an extra clip/ magazine (brand new)

Weight: about 11lbs +/- depends which stock is on it.

Pretty firm on $7500

I have a Pelican case for it as well.

We can talk about the dies & Brass I have.
This is a very easy cartridge to load for, and is an absolute blast to shoot!
More than enough energy at 1000 yrds for Elk or Deer.

Sir,

Sounds/Reads like a very nice build!

No disrespect, however, pictures sell any item! If you are having trouble uploading them, someone here can do it for you! Just ask. Everyone here wants to see pictures. Less hassle for you as maybe the color of stock may not be to someone's liking or the overall design may not interest others. Therefore, your may get calls from serious buyers.

Who smithed the rifle? Does 7500$ include the dies, brass, and case?

Thanks

Good points.

I will post some pics in the next couple of days.

Yes the dies, brass and case come with it.... Also a Harris Bipod.

I also have the spec sheet for the action and the original box for the scope. The scope still dons the bikini cover and I also have a scope coat for it.

Ed Sweet chambered it with my reamer I purchased from Dave Kiff of PTG.

Just wanted everyone to know, that the action platform is PERFECT for doing a switch barrel since the recoil lug is machined integrally. I did it with my 7LRM in the same platform, wildcatted the 7LRM to a 6.5 LRM.

Also, I left the action and barrel polished, the actions come from defiance highly polished. I just like the way it looks..... This leaves room for who buys it- coating options, should they so desire.

Barrel has been properly seasoned, and all loads developed. I will share all of my knowledge to the purchaser.

Holly crap. I can't believe your selling this crazy AWSOME setup Phil.
Guys, I have seen this bad *** setup. She is a real shooter, and freeking fast with the 140 Bergers . Hits the gong plate with thunder at 800 yards. I have witnessed Phil shoot this setup. Wish I had the money. This is a great deal. A $10,000.00 setup easy for what. That is nuts. One great price. Also a great guy to deal with.
