About 3 years ago I purchased a really interesting custom rifle off of another member on this forum with the intention of shooting and reloading for it.
It has since sat in my vault behind a number of other projects that I have the best intentions of finding time to do.
Since the original write-up was so good, I am going to borrow heavily from it.
"This is a custom .338-06 Ackley rifle built by Rich Reiley at High Tech Customs. The foundation is a 1980-vintage Winchester Model 70 receiver. Of course, the action was blueprinted. It wears a #5 Lilja straight-fluted barrel that is 25" total length including the brake. The brake is Rich's signature slim-line brake, which is threaded. The bolt is spiral fluted. I'm unsure on the brand of trigger, but it has zero creep and pulls at 3 lbs 2 oz. average of 5 pulls. I'm not 100% sure on the stock brand, but Rich made his own stocks in the early days before selling his molds and technology to Bansner. The stock is painted black with tan speckles and has a nice sculptured cheekpiece. The receiver is nicely bedded into the stock. The stock also wears a Caldwell pic rail bipod adapter. The LOP is 13-3/4" and the stock wears a Decellerator pad in excellent condition. All the metal is in black Cerakote. The complete rifle weighs 7 lbs. 5.3 ounces. The only blemishes anywhere on this rifle are some wear on the fluted bolt shaft, normal scope mount tracks on top of the receiver that your mounts will cover, and two very small scrubs on the bottom of the bolt handle. That's it. The barrel, stock and bottom metal have zero blemishes.
I have not fired this rifle since I bought it, so I can't attest to the round count or accuracy. Because of the unique caliber, it's probably safe to say the round count is low. Rich's rifles are guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with premium ammo and I'm sure this one will meet that requirement. The only reason I'm selling it is I bought a Honda Pioneer last week and some toys have to go.
I'm selling this rifle as a package. This is what you get:
Here is the thread:
High Tech Customs .338-06 AI Rifle Built on 1980 Win M70 Action. Full Package w/ Ammo.
Here is Rich Reiley's website for High Tech Customs:

I am looking to send it down the road to another member who has more time to shoot and reload for it than I do. It is a really nicely done custom rifle and the builder is still in business in case a problem were to arise.
I am asking $1,900 shipped to an FFL.
Please reach out with questions.
Thanks!
