SOLD/EXPIRED Mountain Rifles Inc. 30-378 5 lb 15 oz $1700 OBO

[AZCouesslayer]

Built by the late Dana Campbell of Mountain Rifles Inc. on a trued SS Rem 700 action with a 27" stainless barrel and his custom timed brake. I am the original owner of this lightweight beast and have hunted quite a bit with it through the years. The brake tames it fairly well but it certainly doesn't "kick like a 243". As you can see by the photos it has been Duracoted in Kryptek Hylander. I hate to see it go but I have moved on to shooting precision long range with the 6mms and 6.5s, and this gun just doesn't get used anymore. I weighed it on a postal scale at just under 5lb 15oz. I'm asking $2100, including dies and just under 100 twice fired brass. I would be interested in a trade involving a Kahles 6-24 with the SKMR3 reticle.

How does it shoot? Have any pictures of a group?

I haven't shot it for groups since I did load development years ago, but it shot 3/4 MOA then. I don't have any pics of those groups.

Some of these rifles showed over pressure signs with factory ammo. Will this rifle safely shoot Weatherby Factory ammunition?

Also, does it have a custom trigger or the original Remington 700 trigger?

Thanks,

Paul

Dana said to never shoot factory ammo out of it. It shoots much faster with less powder than all the reloading books say it should. I've got all the load data and dies for it.
I never changed the trigger so I assume its the factory trigger, but I don't know how to confirm that. Any more questions, just let me know.

Thanks Rusty

If easily accessible, I'd love to see some of the load data. If reluctant to post on open forum, you can PM me. Trying to get a feeling for what this rifle is capable of.

Thanks,

Paul
