Congratulations on a fine and beautiful rifle !! May it bring you much enjoyment and memories !!

Brown stocks are my favorite synthetic. They were one of the pioneers in synthetics, and got it right. As a rule I dont care for synthetic stocks, but I have a 280 AI I built for sheep hunting in a Brown kevlar Pound'r, it handles wonderfully. What does this rifle weigh ?

It sure looks like a Brown Precision build to me, which in my opinion makes your asking price quite reasonable. I have three .375s otherwise I would be quite tempted. 3+1 or 4+1 ?

Is it actually a plastic stock ? It looks to me that it may be a much higher quality Brown Precision fiberglass or kevlar stock, at least it appears to be looking at small pics on my phone. If it says Brown Precision on the barrel it is likely a complete build from Brown, unless you know...

This is all I know. This is supposed to be contact info for builder:

My guess is its a 44 WCF aka 44-40 if a 45 Colt is close to fittting. Looks like a Colt 1873 "Peacemaker" to my non-expert eyes. Looks like not only the ejector rod was removed, the frame boss for the rod was ground off. Interesting piece for sure !

I just saw this last night. Supposedly an outfit converting 7600s to 375 and 416 Ruger.

I agree the primers look normal, not flattened like one would expect to see when running into pressure signs with a bolt action. The thing is, break actions can exhibit problems with pressure at lower levels than what could cause problems with a bolt action. There is a reason traditional double...

I dont have double rifle experience, but do have experience with T/C Contenders and Encores, and a family member with a New England Handi Rifle that I handloaded 270 for. What you describe is what I have experienced when loads are generating too much pressure. The brass is stretching upon firing...

Beautiful rifle ! Are these 4+1 in the 404 ?

The Mosin -Nagant, one of the most rugged and reliable, if not refined, military bolt action rifles ever fielded is a push feed. One of the most mass produced military bolt action rifles in history, with over 37 million in various variants produced. The Russians have a reputation for building...

Just received the 2-7 compact. Every bit as good as described, I am very pleased ! Thanks Smo1127 and a bump to the top !!

My buddy used a 7x57 and 168 LRXs on a zebra at approximately 80 yards and a wildebeest around 200 yards. Bullet performance on both was excellent with pass throughs, major tissue damage, and fast death. I believe muzzle velocity was around 2650, so that should equate to the impact velocity at...

No disrespect intended. If you took it as disrespectful thats on you. When the action type is different than stated that does not inspire confidence in a buyer. Thought maybe you were selling for a third party and did not have the rifle. 200 vs 202 ? Typos happen. Straight pull vs conventional...

Not a straight pull and not a 200. Your listing does not inspire confidence. Do you actually posess this rifle ?
