This is taking space and time I would rather allocate to other projects. 1917 converted to 300 H&H, Leupold M8 4x scope, Leupold QR bases and rings, 2 boxes of Winchester FaulSafe 180gr.

The stock is stripped 97% and still needs some sanding, profiling, etc to taste. I personally do not like this stock and it's half the reason I have lost interest in finishing this one out myself.

Buttpad has been rough fitted and may or may not be up to par, again, per shooter's choice.

The Leupold bases are mounted, but they have not been profiled or adjusted to height. You guessed it, that'll be shooter's choice too.

The previous owner stated that there were feeding issues. I don't remember if he said it was only on the last round, but that is my experience. I think it may be as simple as shaping the back corner of the follower.

I also have 2 boxes of FailSafe that I will send with the rifle, but not apart.

$700 + actual shipping (can be picked up FTF in southern Indiana) will take the whole shebang. I am also interested in a magnum action for another 300 H&H build, but especially interested in anything MK12 or PRI related, including a Form 3 AEM5/OCM5.

That'll be a cool project for somebody, awesome caliber too. Nothing wrong with the failsafes either! Good luck with the sale!

Thanks! I've just got too many irons in the fire to hold onto this one right now.
 
I’ve got a 300HH built on a 1917 action in the safe… it’s been a great rifle…

This one looks like a fun project

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
