HP Rifle for Sale- Rifle is Sold.

[Jim Beckley]

Remington 700 Short Action (trued), McMillan Thumbhole Stock, bedded, chambered in 6.5x47 Lapua, Jewell BR Trigger, has a Krieger Rem Varmit tapered barrel that has been fluted to make weight. Also comes with a new in box #5 1/2 tapered Kreiger barrel. This rifle will shoot in its current configuration. I have shot 10 chickens, 10 pigs and 10 rams, 9 turkeys as recent as the Missouri Regional in August. The only issue with this rifle, is before I had it fluted, I removed the recoil pad to make weight, then glued it back on after it was tapered. Also comes with a Weaver 24x scope, 1/4 clicks, 5/16ths in dot. 1600.00 firm. Best way to contact me is call or text me at 480-415-4342. I wil ship to your FFL.

Since the stock is thumbhole configuration, it will only shoot in "Standard" rifle class, not Hunter, right?
If I had a different stock, would it make weight and trigger weight for Hunter class?

Would LOVE to get into the HP side of the sport! Gotta spend your money on something, right?

[Jim Beckley]

Yes the way it is now it is Standard. It was in a McMillan Anchutz stock without the thumbhole before this one. When I put it in this stock it was alittle bit heavier thus the fluted barrel.

My guess is that you would have to install a different stock and the 5-1/2 taper barrel Jim has with the package to even come close to hunter weight. I have a 6.5 x 55 with a 5-1/2 taper Hart barrel in a Pharr RT stock and had to use shoe sole for a recoil pad to make weight. And that was with a scope that was a least 2 oz lighter than the T24 on top of this rifle.

JB, I have seen you lay down a lot of steel with that rifle. The new owner has a nice gun.

[Jim Beckley]

McAlice, At the Mo match this year you told me that I need 10 turkeys, I hit 9 and you were all pissy because they were not all center hits!

[Bob Mc Alice]

I was not getting all pissy. Yeah, I called a couple of them sloppy hits but I was simply trying to "encourage" you to do your best. It was that single miss six inches over the head when I got pissed at you.

Is this rifle being sold to make room for a new... 7mm??
