RobinC Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 (edited) Continuing on my retirement trail, I have a very special rifle for sale! It is built as a 300 mt rifle, BUT, being in .223 rem it is also eligible for NRA Target Rifle TR events as well!!! The action is a specially built Sportco M44, shortened action, with centre action screw, and front recoil lug action screw. The action is mat black ceracote. It is in .223 Rem calibre, with a new TSE bolt head, special bolt handle, and a new TSE adapter to take a new Bartlein 1 in 8 twist barrel, 640 mm (25") with .223 Wylde chambering. The trigger is a Bix'n Andy 20 gm two stage , (for 300 mt and any thing with a free trigger), plus it also comes with a Sportco TR eligible 1500 gm trigger (a straight, simple ten minute fit). The rear sight is a new Gehmann 590 compact, with Centra iris, and Centra lens hood, mounted on a Centra metric rail, and it also comes with a PH 5C TR 4 click per minute TR sight, complete with mounting bracket, a simple switch, so, a 300 mt free trigger and metric sights, ten minutes and a TR sight and trigger! The front sight is the superb Crystal Centra Cube, with Crystal High End element, and a 0.5 Crystal Eagle eye for TR! (that's £200 of front sight!) Forget the 30 mm TR front sights, you have never looked through a sight like this for clarity of picture! The action is on a special machined alloy bedding block bolted into the stock. The stock is a Keppeler full bore K5 with my own modified alloy fore end inserts to make it as slim as the new K9 stock. Finished in Metalic black with polished alloy detail. The grip is a Walther KK300, the cheek piece is a flat top Walnut wood, fully adjustable in every direction, with my own side folding cheek piece so it can be high, and fold to open the bolt, simples! The butt plate is a Keppeler, adjustable for length, height and angles, with a removable (for TR) butt hook. All complete with a colour matched Mirage band (choice of colours!). The barrel was very carefully run in, and has shot a logged 200 rounds in total, including one 60 shot 300 mt match (just over my average). It shoots superbly with NRA available GGG 69 gn match ammo, and even better including spectacularly in wind, with my special 80 gn hand loads. The sale will include a box of each! Why then am I selling it? It was my lock down project, plus If you look on the General threads for my "bucket list project" that I have just finished, that's why, plus retirement looms, I don't need two the same calibre, and I need the cabinet space!!! It's very special, suitable and competitive, for 300 mt, TR, bench rest, or what ever you wish to do! The pic is not very good, I lost patience with the resizing site!! Its just a taster, if you are interested I have more and better detail pics on email robin.carter80@ntlworld.com At a fraction of the cost to build, the first sensible offer close to £2500 gets it!

RobinC Posted 11 July 2023 Author Share Posted 11 July 2023 And...... If you get a Keppeler Anschutz adapter and have an Annie action, a ten minute bolt in job, you have one superb rifle that will cover three disciplines! Sensible offers?

RobinC Posted 17 January Author Share Posted 17 January (edited) This is a new built rifle, with a new just run in Bartlein barrel, (any one here tried to order a new Bartlein, they are on a year waiting list!!), it comes with two sets of sights and two triggers making it eligible (and very competitive), for 300 mt, TR, bench rest, F class, even plinking!! If you are looking at going into any of the full bore disciplines this is a perfect and competitive rifle, for any one new or experienced. Just buy an Anschutz adapter and you can also put your .22rf Annie in the same stock, one rifle for all your shooting! The parts alone, barrel, stock, sights, butt plate, total a lot more than I'm asking! I was asking £2500, I've now built my bucket list rifle, and this is cluttering up my cabinet, the first offer of £2000 gets it, or in fact any sensible offer? email me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com for more detail pics.

RobinC Posted 2 April Author Share Posted 2 April Final chance!!! This rifle is eligible for TR with the spare TR sight and trigger it comes with, and is also competitive in 300 mt with the Gehmann sight and the Bix'n Andy trigger, if you want to just shoot, any thing else its eligible even F class or non comp fun shooting. Its as new, yes, the gold dust rare, Bartlein barrel is only just run in!! Like most .223 rem calibre rifles its a joy to shoot. Final silly price, £1850, a fraction of what it cost to build with all top level components, its cluttering up my cabinet!! If you are interested I'll take it to Bisley on the 28th April! robin.carter80@ntlworld.com Have Fun Robin JasonJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
