Hey guys, I am new here but am a long time member of Snipershide and I can give you dozens of references from over there, or just look up my username over there in the forums section. Also you can look up my name on Michigan Gun Owners if you need more proof.
Now to the good stuff.
First up is my 280 Remington. Entire gun was built by Robert at RW Snyder GunSmithing.
Work performed:
- 1969 Win 70 LA trued and lapped
- action inletted for use with detachable mags
- bolt handle threaded with badger knob installed
- barrel chambered to 280 (throated for standard bullets like ELD, Noslers, and SMKs. Tried some Berger VLD and they shot great too.)
- barrel threaded 5/8x24 and RWS self index brake installed
- trigger set to 2lbs
- entire barreled action cerakoted
- stock was painted by our very own Shortbus (Branden from Custom Gun Coating)
- action and 1.5" of barrel bedded by me.
Build components and accessories:
- win 70 post 64 long action
- bartlein 1:9 27" MTU barrel threaded 5/8x24
- RWS muzzle brake
- badger bolt knob
- timney trigger
- McMillan A4 stock with thumb wheel cheek rest
- CDI bottom metal (inletted at McMillan)
- Accurate 3.715" 30-06 magazine
- Leupold Mark 4 15 MOA base
- 75 pieces of once fired Norma brass (that is also the round count)
- 25 pieces of new Norma brass loaded with my 2850 load
- 150-200 pieces of once and twice fired nickel cases that I bought from another member (don't remember the head stamp off the top of my head)
- approx 600 Hornady ELD match 162s
I didn't spare much expense on this build other than some of the things like fluting. I worked up a load for it at 2850 FPS with 162 ELD match but haven't taken it past 400M yet. It's one ragged hole at 100 yards with a 5-shot group. I will gladly share my load data with whoever buys it.
When I did the math and added it all up with the reloading components and the gun and all the work I had done as well as shipping, I figured I had just shy of $3,300 into everything (and will be glad to lay it out if you don't believe me).
I will take $2,750 shipped in a hard case via priority mail for everything.

Second up is my 6.5X284 Norma Mag built by Phoenix Custom Rifles. I'll make this description a bit shorter than above. Same idea though.

- Fincher's corner bolt forge/sweep, polish, and Timney low profile safety installed
- Bartlein 1:8 twist remington varmint contour barrel threaded 5/8x24 with APA Gen 2 brake installed finished at 24"
- Custom McMillan A3-5 thumbwheel adjustable stock with CDI bottom metal and accurate 5 round 30-06 mag
- Timney trigger installed and set at 1.5lbs
- Stock was bedded while at PCR by Keith
- Cerakoted Armor Black
$2,500 shipped for this one of a kind gun!
