I bought this rifle ack in September. It is a great shooting rifle and I took a doe at 509 yards with it a couple weeks back.

It is a G Prefix 700 short action trued with side bolt release
PT&G One Piece Fluted Bolt
Lilja #3 Contour Barrel finished at 26"
BDL Bottom Metal
Tuned Rem Trigger (pull is a touch under 3 on my gauge)
Manners EH2 Carbon Stock that has been pillar bedded
Nightforce 20moa rail

Here's the story on the gun:
It was built by John Mayer of Custom Gunsmithing in Boyce, VA. When I got the gun it wouldn't feed the next round very well and it wouldn't eject the spent case. I took it to Jon Beanland and had him correct it as well as thread the barrel. He was able to machine a tiny amount off the extractor, upgrade the extractor spring and massage the magazine box and now it runs like a champ. The barrel contour was to small to thread it with 5/8x24 so he threaded it 1/2x28 and he timed a 1/2 to 5/8 adapter from Sinclair. He timed it perfeclty so the shoulder of the adapter is parallel with the scope rail.

Previous owner said it had roughly 200 rounds through it and I have put approximately 75 rounds through it. Gun shoots lights out with 67.5 grains of R17 with a Barnes 168 ttsx bullet on top. I have around 47 pieces of 1x and 2x fired Winchester Brass that I will include. Probably about 20 are 2x fired.

The only reason I am selling is to fund glass for my new custom Beanland and to scratch my RPR itch. I would either sell it out right for 2,200.00 or take a partial trade for a Steiner t5xi 5-25 with mil SCR reticle, Bushnell LRHS 4-18 or 3-12 with mil g2h reticle or a Ruger RPR in 6.5CM. I have about 2,400 in it after putting the nightforce rail and the work done by Jon. I'm pretty good about checking the site but you can text 4053231714 for faster response.

The can, bipod, cheek piece, scope/rings, and sling aren't included. Thanks

I also have a modified case that works with the Hornady OAL gauge that will go to the buyer if they want it.
 
Bump for a nice rife John in boyce,va is my gunsmith everything he has built shoots lights out.
 
I can't see the photos do you mind posting some larger ones?
 
T185 would you pm me your number or email and I can forward them from my phone. I Won't be by a pc for a while tonight. Thanks
 
Lazwarbird thanks. It's definitely a nice piece. if I didn't need glass or an rpr I would definitely be keeping it.
 
Lots of interest but nothing solid. Let's find a new home for it.
 
It's an accuracy addiction built 6.5x47L using a ad efiance Deviant action with a hawk hill 8 twist rem varmint contour in a bedded Manners T5a using AW mags It has approximately 450 rounds through it. It Shoots 130 JLK's with 42 grains of H4350 insanely well. I've had it out to 1450. It's a hard one for me to let to let go but I'd sell it at 2,550.00 shipped. I have around 75-100 1x fired lapua brass I'd throw in.
 
Which 227 model is it? I just looked on their website. There's about 8 or so
 
P227 Nitron. Shot very little, comes with box, E2 grips, and 4 10 round mags, and a Surefire x300.
