</li>

<li>Trigger Jewell w/ bolt release ($205)</li>
<Li>Newlon neck die, cut the same as the chamber. ($95) </Li>
<Li>Wilson seater dir, also custome to the chamber ($95) </Li>
<Li>Leupold 24 BR Scope ($500) There are a few scratches on it from the=
rings when it was install on my last rifle. The scope works wonderfully=
. It's actually worth $600, but i took $100 off for the scrathes and gen=
eral ware on the exterior. </Li>
<Li>Hard Case ($100)</Li>
<Li>Dewey Cleaning rod ($40)</Li>
</UL>
<p>I will gladly include a copy of the reciept from <a href=3D"http://w=
ww.gtrtooling.com">Gre-Tan</a> that shows that all the work was done and=
how much I paid. The serial number on the rexiept matches the rifle. <s=
trong>The total for all</strong> the work done the value of the scope an=
d the net value of the orginal remington rifle ($300) comes to:
$<strong>2760</strong>. </p>
<p>The custom Dies are included as is everything listed above. </p>
<p>I will through in the brass that I have which is, if I'm not mistake=
n about 200 pieces, it could be more. I will through in the rest of the =
Berger 210 bullets I have, maybe 100. I have some rounds I made for a m=
atch that haven't be used. I will include them too, 11 to be exact. Con=
sider the brass, bullets and finished rounds as free-bes not to be consi=
derd into the price.</p>
<p>Here's the current load I'm using:</p>
<p>Winchester Brass, Necked at 0.13". All necks are turned. all brass i=
s sized and all have been fired at least once. <br>
Hogdon H4350, 62.5 Grians<br>
OAL 3.097, that is rough from one of the pre made rounds. I would sugge=
st using a comparator to match from the olgive. </p>
<p>I have put about 300 rounds through the chamber. I have taken excell=
ent care of the rifle.<br>
<br>
That consists of brake in: 1 round then clean ten times, 2 rounds the=
n clean ten times, then 3 rounds and clean ten times, 60 rounds.<br>
<br>
About 150 rounds for load development and general practice. I don't g=
et too much of that. I can only shoot to 100 yards except at the matches=
.<br>
<br>
About 100 rounds at matches
. (average 10 rounds per match X 10 matches) <br>
<br>
I clean between every 10 rounds. +/- a few given how many I need to f=
ire for a match. when working loads, every 5 rounds.<br>
<br>
The rifle is used, but slightly. The offset for being able to get one=
now rather than wait a year somewhat offsets the cost. This is why I'm =
setting the Buy It Now at $2500.00. The openning bid will reflect the ch=
ance to get it slightly cheaper. If you're considering getting into the=
sport this is a great wayto get your feet wet. It will pay for itself. =
Even if all you do is hunt groundhogs 600 to 1200 yards with it, you'll =
get plenty of use out of it. <br>
</p>
<p>
NOTE: The Rear Bag and Rest are not part of this sale.
Buyer pays shipping, handleling (just packaing, ~$10) and taxes. The sh=
ipping comes from Richmond, VA 23234. I will ship anyway you like, USPS =
or UPS are the easiest. USPS will incur a FFL fee on my side to be paid =
by buyer.. There will be two packages. The first is the rifle in the har=
d case. The second will be the brass, bullets and rounds. </p>
<p>If you're wondering why I'm selling it. I had my fun, now I'm lookin=
g to get into pistol competitions. Maybe I'll do better there. This is a=
great rifle. It will shoot better than I can make it shot. I have no pr=
oblem letting it go at a loss because I did enjoy the matches I shot. I =
hope who ever purchases the rifle will enjoy it as much. 1,000 yard is j=
ust not for me.</p>
<p>Good luck and thank you for looking at my auction. </p>
