I purchased this from another member here. I have taken it to the range one time and shot 20 rounds of PPU through it. It shoots like a dream, but it’s been a safe queen with no safari in sight, so I’ll pass this on to another lucky member. Looking to get $2,400+shipping for the lot. Will need to arrange FFL to FFL, unless you’re in Illinois, which we can follow the proper ISP online transfer portal protocol.
The details from him when I bought it below, with my update from 9 boxes of new PPU to 8…
I bought this new in 2017 for my first safari. It has accounted for many pg out to 300 yards and a buf. It likes my Barnes 235 gr TSX handloads for pg and my 350gr TSX for dg, all one shot kills.
It has a Vortex 1-4 Firedot illuminated in Talley QD rings, Pachmayr Decelerator pad. It sports a few small scratches in the stock from handling and brush encounters. I had the action gone over and smoothed out, trigger adjusted to 3#. Runs smooth as silk and trigger breaks like a glass rod, no slack, no takeup. If you tip the muzzle down with the bolt back it will run forward on its own. Bolt down and it locks up tight and feeds perfectly with anything I put into it. I've run about 200 rounds through it without a hiccup.
For ammo I have:
8 boxes PPU 300gr RNSP new.
1 box PPU cases.
2 boxes Hornady 300gr DGS solids new.
50 rounds Barnes 235gr TSX handloads with 63gr 4895.
77 rounds Barnes 235gr TSX handloads with 66gr 4064.
40 rounds Barnes 235gr TSX handloads with 63gr 4064.
12 rounds RNSP new.
36 Barnes 350gr TSX projectiles.
Dies.
I realize some folks don't trust someone else's handloads but I loaded mine on a single stage press and every load was weighed to within 1/10gr. All brass is loaded no more than twice, cleaned and checked before loading. They are the only rounds I have run through the rifle and all without one problem.
