Rem 700 300 Lapua AI

[HuntnID]

So I'm selling a rifle that I got on here amd never got around to shooting, partly because I'm a bit stingy on using my gun powder at the moment and partly because I'm really more of a 338 guy. Here is the description.

I got it for $1600 and I'll get it to your FFL for $1600 shipped. I'm open to trade offers so let's hear those too.

How's it shoot? Group pics?
What bullets and speed?

 

[HuntnID]

I never shot it. I got it from Kasefield. He said it shot with 215 Berners-Lee over Retumbo and it shot well. I can't recall the velocity or actual measured group size.

Hey that's my old rifle!

 

[HuntnID]

Great. It's a beautiful rifle. Care to offer any answers to group size and velocity? Or maybe you want it back?

 

[Hankster76]

Hey that's my old rifle!

Give us some details
Groups velocity ect
Thanks

Hey that's my old rifle!

I think it's cool to see a rifle that's made rounds through a few owners like that. I sold a white 338 Edge to Mallard Addict a few years ago that I wish I could get back though. Haha

 

[montana_native]

Sure! I just found my data.

95.4 gr of Retumbo (older lot) and a GM215M and a 215 Berger was 3157 FPS with a 0.073" jump. Three shot groups were 0.342" to 1.122" at 100 yds during load development.

RL33 really got it moving. 3256 FPS with 105.5 grains and a GM215M. Three shot groups were 0.500" to 0.839" at 100 yds during load development and I didn't play with seating depth.

I recall way more muzzle blast and recoil with RL33. That's why I sold it. I'm kind of a wuss with big rifles and breaks. Even with good hearing protection I get headaches after a few rounds.

 

[HuntnID]

Pretty fine pea shooter here fellas.

 

[Bghunter338]

So is this like a switch barrel?

 

[HuntnID]

The fireforming barrel is really just to be installed so a guy can fireform new brass without burning up barrel life on the actual barrel.

 

[goatsie]

What does the rifle weigh?

 

[HuntnID]

Rifle is 10.8 lbs as pictured. Bare rifle with bipod.
