Bottom line up front, I love this rifle, but have decided I need to consolidate some calibers (maintaining the logistics to support 24 different rifle calibers and a half dozen pistol calibers is a PIA), and since this one is really somewhat singular purposed for me (built to be a hog hammer) I’ve decided to let it go.. I have plenty of other rifles in calibers that I maintain for other purposes that are also suitable for hogs (308, etc)…
So, cheap 458 SOCOM ammo sells at about $2.50 per round. Good stuff can run as much as $4.50 per trigger squeeze. Im offering up 353 total rounds at a price of $2.27 each ($800 total) shipped to your door. When you buy the ammo, the rifle comes with the package (shipped separately) at no additional cost to you
..
If youre a hand loader, I’ll even throw in my remaining bullets and a set of Lee dies for the 458 SOCOM (you’ll be set to reload as soon as you turn some of the current ammo into spent brass …
The Ammo:
85 Rounds – 350 Gr. Berrys Flat Nose FMJ
238 Rounds – 325 Gr Hornady FTX (my primary hunting round for this rifle. It groups well, and drops even he largest hogs in their tracks)
30 Rounds – Underwood 300 Gr Ballistic Tips
The Rifle:
Bear Creek Arsenal 458 Upper
Handguard has an Alumihyde OD Green finish. Its not perfect. There are some streaks in the paint (DIY job), but honestly its held up exceptionally well, no flakes, chipping, etc experienced with it, and its been on the gun a couple of years
Sons of Liberty Gun Works Lower
Rise Armament drop in 3.5lb trigger
Magpul OD green furniture.
2 mags come with the rifle (factory marked 458 SOCOM)
Rifle feeds, shoots, extracts well, and is reasonably accurate for a heavy booming AR (2” groups at 100 are pretty easy to achieve with any ammo Ive put through it).
If youre not familiar with 458 SOCOM, you essentially get 45-70 trapdoor ballistics out of an AR platform. It does have a unique bolt, barrel, and the ejection port is milled out bigger to accommodate the fat cartridges.. but otherwise everything is pretty much AR15 standard (same upper, lower, trigger, buffer, stock, handguards, etc..etc.. so its very easy (and affordable) to modify it pretty much any way you want to..
Makes for an incredible 150 yard pig or black bear gun IMO.. also super effective on deer, mid 90’s Oldsmobile’s, or anything else you might imagine shooting a 45-70 type round out of an AR15 at ...
Optic and cantilever in the pic are NOT included in the sale (will be moving those over to another AR)..
Also posted on one other site.. First “I’ll take it” confirmed by date/time stamp in either the thread or in a PM gets it.
Thanks!
