1 + 1. one in the barrel & one in the magazine. Haven't had any feeding issues.

Was shooting 210 grain Berger bullet. Sub 1/2 MOA group (3/8") at 100 yards. Settled at 3300 FPS Muzzle Velocity, loved the accuracy more than speed. Didn't play with loads a whole lot, you may find something it likes better. My father in law does the reloading, i just know how to hunt & shoot. 103 grains of RL33.

Shawn Thomason built the rifle, Glass bedded etc. (Diamond T rifle shop)
(Can't remember how much he charged me for labor)

Built 2 years ago, only shot about 40 rounds through it. Barrel properly broke in.

$5,600 value w/ labor etc. Firmly asking $3,499 for the complete set-up.

Had to wait 12 months for all the parts to arrive & be put together.

Action originally started off as a 300 win mag that i purchased about 2 years prior to this build, bolt face was "opened up" for the Lapua. Haven't had any issues.

There is a wear mark by the front sling stud from where i ran Harris bipods attached to the stock. Nothing major but there is two vertical wear lines leftover. In picture.

My cousin borrowed this gun to go wolf hunting, & it came back with another wear mark near the recoil pad on top of stock, No idea how it got there but i filled it in black so it's less noticable. Also in attached picture

Never shot it on paper any farther than 200 yards. Shot a spike bull at 530 yards with it last fall, Hit it right behind the front shoulder where i was aiming.

Contact me by phone or Private message. Nathan. 208-827-0391. Leave a message.

Can have gunsmith fax me chamber blueprints if needed.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, insurance, tracking etc.

Will only sell items as a complete package.
Will not accept trades.

REASON FOR SELLING: I just don't have enough time to do near as much long range plinking as I thought I would. & I used to hunt wide open clear cuts & just sit & glass. But now I'm getting to where i like to hunt old growth timber away from the roads where you really don't need a long range set up. This gun is 11.25 pounds including scope etc. So I've gotten to where i just carry my 8 pound 30-06 for hunting the timber now. And I was kind of undecided on whether or not I was gonna sell but I just got married last week & had emergency appendix surgery that same night (bad timing lol) so I decided I would just sell this gun and put some $$$ back in the bank and just hunt out to 350 yards with my 30-06 for awhile.

Have never sold anything that wasn't being sold locally so you may have to help me with proper paperwork etc. Thank you in advance. I'm in Orofino, Idaho.
