Up for sale is my 9.3x62 custom rifle built on an FN commercial m98 action.
It has a timney trigger and a Jim Wiesner 3 position safety installed (it has just been installed, it is still in the white).
Feeds and cycles flawless, it shoots PPU 286 grain ammunition ($25/box ammo) into a little under an inch for 3 shot groups.
It is glass and pillar bedded into a laminated stock.
I bought it as a project gun to put it into a gorgeous stock, but I have to realize I lack the skill and the time to complete plan.
My loss is your gain.
Asking $2000, including the original trigger and an additional aftermarket bolt shroud. (scope bases are NOT included)

Hello any trades I have a browning x bolt in 7mm remington mag with a custom high end walnut stock rifle is unfired + cash
 
Thank you for the offer but at this time i would need the cash to fund another project.
 
Beautiful build for sure.
 
Thank you for the kind comments. There has been quite a bit of interest, but the rifle is still available.
 
Some interest but not takers yet, which makes me think a price. adjustment is due.
How about US$ 1900 shipped TYD
Thank you for looking.
 
The action is definitely blued, the barrel and the bottom metal I am not sure, but I do not think that they are cerakoted either. I have just had the new 3 position safety installed and it is in the white.
The barrel is 24" long and I think it is #3 contour.
I hope this helps. (I am (happy to provide more images if that helped)
Thank you for your interest.

Ok, Thank you. A number 3 contour is probably a 1.14” shank diameter

I am at work, but when I get home I will grab my caliper and take a few measurements with it and share the pics if that helped. Thank you for your interest.
 
Here are the barrel measurements. With the measurements in hand, can anyone tell me what contour it is? I thought it was #3.
And most importantly, thank you for looking.
I give it another 3-5 days to sell, and if it does not, I will bite the bullet and commission a custom stock...

Anytime. The rifle is still available.
(if it does not sell in the next 72 hours. It will go and get a new stock for itself.)
 
Well, last try before she is sent away to get a new stock.
Price drop to $1800 shipped.
 
The bottom metal is by Swift Blackburn.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
