Selling my Richard Franklin Custom Remington 700 LA in 6AI
It is a Right hand repeter action with a single shot follower installed. It has a side bolt release and Jewel bench rest trigger with no safety.
The neck is .268 so the brass needs to be turned. I have probably 400 pieces of brass prepped and ready to go. The action is CM the Barrel i believe is a SS Krieger MTU contour? 1-14 twist.
Its the cats meow with 75gr Hornady V-Max out to 800yds.
The rifle, trigger guard, action screws, Ken Farrel 20MOA base and Burris signature rings were Cerakoted silver by Wyatts Outdoor.
The stock is a Franklin Custom laminate before he sold his stocking making buisness.
It shoots little bitty groups with boring accuracy. I have killed a rabbit at 600+ yds with it and numerous squirrels.
I believe it has less than 800 rounds down the barrel. Most of those were mild fire forming loads.
It also comes with RCBS 6mm dies and Redding 6mmAI Competition dies.
Asking $1,550 shipped and insured in a hard case to the lower 48

I have a co worker that has a couple of his guns, these things are lasers and like art to me. How well does it shoot heavier bullets - 95-107gr?
 
How wide is the forearm? It looks like his 005 with a sporter forearm. This is a beautiful rifle and Richard Franklin built some of the best looking stocks around. And his bedding jobs are second to none.

To vatackdriver,
Richard built these specifically for shooting the 75 gr v-max. With the 1-14 twist it probably won't stabilize anything over 75 grains even at the high velocities the 6mmAI produces(3,800 fps +). He built some with a 1-10 twist to stabilize the 87 gr v-max as well but he preferred the 1-14 shooting the 75 gr. The ultimate long range ground hog vaporizer.

Thank you,
Cody R.
