Hillbilly Custom Rifles 28 Nosler

[Killertraylor]

I had Nathan Chesney at Hillbilly Custom Rifles build this rifle for me. Post-64 stainless Winchester CRF magnum action pillar bedded into a McMillan edge fill McFlame stock. 26" number 3 fluted Hart barrel 1:8 twist with a vais style radial brake. Factory trigger honed by Nathan - breaks crisp at 2 1/2 lbs. 13.5" LOP, Action blueprinted by Nathan, Wyatts Extended mag box, #6-48 scope mounts, front pic rail for bipod attachment, warne bases for picatinny style rings. Gun weighs 7 lbs 2 oz as pictured. Action and barrel cerakoted grey with black accents on the action. Gun is in excellent shape - only mark is a safe ding on the end of the bolt knob. When I received the gun I bought a box of Nosler 175 gr Long Range Accubond ammo and took it to the range. To my surprise, it shot it at .5 moa so I bought 10 boxes and called it good. Gun has exactly 60 rounds down the barrel. I have 7 full boxes left of the Nosler Accubond ammo that I will offer to the buyer first at $80 a box (this ammo has been extremely difficult to find lately - ammoseek has one retailer listed for it at $120 a box). $2250 shipped for the rifle only or $2810 with 7 boxes of ammo.

LOP of stock & twist on barrel.

Thanks, Elkbelter - fixed it. Standard 13.5 LOP and 1:8 twist. I still have the original invoice paperwork from Nathan from the build - Will include with the rifle.

Do you happen to know the ammo's velocity from this gun? Seems like Nosler says 3125. Also, is the brake removable? Thread protector?

 

[Killertraylor]

I was right at 3100 to 3120 fps when I ran it with the Labradar. Barrels speed up after 150-200 rounds though so it should exceed the 3125 eventually. I believe the brake is removable based on the build sheet above although I've never taken it off. I just tried to unscrew it with my bare hands and it didn't budge. I don't have a thread protector for it.

What caliber was the action from? Any feeding issues?

 

[Killertraylor]

I believe it started as a .257 Weatherby. Feeds like butter. Nathan does great work!

Thanks, Paul! I hope you had a good Christmas! Tough time of year to be a lineman with all of these storms. I killed two moose and two elk with it. The 175 LRAB is a great bullet.
