    The above thread details what I did, and why I did it. As I mentioned in that thread every few years I get a hankering to do it again, so this rifle is on the chopping block. Round count is less than 200. Accuracy is phenomenal. Furthest i have had it was 800 yards to test the custom turret's, and it put 5 rounds in a 4 inch group right on bull. Cost to build this rifle was 5400 dollars. This gun is zeroed at 200 with precision hunter factory 162 gr ammo (shot as good as my reload's through this rifle), and ready to hunt with. With this caliber and turret, you can dial to about 975 in 1 revolution. Basically instead of knowing MOA, or MRAD, you range 650, and dial to 650. Ive been skeptical of these turrets in the past due to bad experiences when they first came out in the 90's, but they have really dialed them in now. This one has been tested to 800 yards, and was way less than 1 inch off, if any.

    Manners EH5-A mini chassis=1300
    Bartlien 26 inch barrel =400
    Action=1300
    Chambering, threading=600
    Cerakoting=100
    Scope=1350
    Rings=150
    Tigger=200



    Total=5400

    I will let the package go for 4k even and include 1 detachable mag. No trades, no throw this in, cash and carry at this price.

    If you don't want the scope and rings I will sell for 3k


    Also available to the buyer separately will be

    Extra AI mags (I have to look and see what all I have)
    107rds of precision hunter ammo
    couple hundred once fired brass
    162gr eldx bullets
    dies.

    Forgive the pics, I'm a lot of things, but a photographer is not one of them.
