F.S. 7MMWSM 30\" Krieger 8\" barrel block custom rifle

I have for sale my own personal custom built rifle.It is a 7MMWSM min. spec. chamber. 30" Krieger barrel, 1 in 9 twist with 11 degree target crown. Savage 12 stainless single shot. Custom bolt handle. 8" alluminum barrel block machined out of a solid piece of 6061 alluminum stock. This is a vice style block not a glue in. It sits on 4 alluminum pillars and a full bed of devcon putty.The action free floats behind the block. The action has been trued and timed and the Ken Farrel 20 minute base is included,which is bedded to the action. Scope and rings not included. This is not a new gun but is in like new condition. Barrel has less than 700 rnds. through it. The five shot group with my hand in the picture was shot at 1250 yds. using 169.5 gr. Wildcat bullets and Winchester unsorted brass E.S was in the 20's due to case capacity differance.The other 5 shot group was fired at 700 yds. This is a typical 5-shot group at 700 yds.With my best 3-shot group being 1-5/8".
This rifle is shooting now as a good as it ever has.The only reason I am selling is that I just invested in some new shop equipment,such as a CNC 4 axis mill for engraving and fluting bolts and I have another gun project for myself that I want to finish.
$1850.00 with a 1 month return if you are not 100% pleased(only if still in original condition!)
All gunsmithing done by myself here at Straight Shot Gunsmithing.

P.S the rifle weighs about 22 lbs.
P.P.S The black square on the last target is 4"x4"

Below are another two 700 rd. groups one a 5-shot and the other a 3-shot group. Using 162 AMAX.

The 1250 yd group above with my hand in it is a 5 shot group,the other two shots are in the top piece of tape and are hard to see in the photo.The one below it(the one with the black square) is also a 5 shot group there are two in one hole I believe it is the bottom right.Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any.

Re: F.S. 7MMWSM 30\" Krieger 8\" barrel block custom rifle

My plan is to do spiral futes on Remmington,Savage and Winchester bolts. I have the capability right now to do the straight flute but feel the spiral is a better way to do it as you are not wearing just on a few spots on the receiver.
Probably the biggest benifit to doing this is when putting a PTG bolt in a Remmington 700,it will allow a lot tighter tollerances without sacraficing smooth operation. Probably 80% cosmetic, but hey there's nothing wrong with a cool looking bolt /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I initially got the CNC mill for engraving but this would be another way to get more use out of it. As far as when....the mill is set up and I have done some engraving on some wood. I need to get another paralel port in my computer to run the 4th axis to rotate the bolt. I am looking for some user friendly software( the little I have done with this mill has been in DOS and is really slow going for me) as I make no claims to be a computer wiz,in fact three years ago
I hardly knew how to turn one on.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I am learning in leaps and bounds in the computer world and am hoping to have one done for myself in a month.
Thanks for your interest,

I am talking my wife into building me a web page in the near future.
My PH# is 701-794-3276
I haven't thought about price much.I did just look online and one place was charging $160 and the other was $135 and I was thinking I would charge no more than $100 and the first few might even get a better deal than that.
