Up for sale is an almost new 300 Norma Mag Improved (40 degree) barreled action built by Mark Gordon at Short Action Customs. The barreled action was originally installed in a chassis, but it was too heavy to carry comfortably so I decided to swap out the chassis for a carbon fiber Manners PRS-1 stock with APA bottom metal. By the time I received the stock, I decided to move on to a different project so now all parts are for sale. This is essentially a brand new barreled action that has only been fired 20 times during break in. The stock/bottom metal/magazine are in brand new condition.

Specs on barreled action:
-SAC-branded Defiance Deviant long action with .590 bolt face, Nitrided bolt, Area 419 bolt handle, 30 MOA rail, CIP length magazine cut
-28" Bartlein Heavy Palma barrel, 1-9 twist, 3/4-24 muzzle threads with TBAC 338BA brake installed
-Barreled action finished in matte black Cerakote
-Jewell trigger (currently set at 2.5 lbs)
-Chambered for 300 Norma Magnum Improved - Mark's reamer is a max capacity, 40 degree design
-Throated for 215/230 Berger Hybrids
-Exactly 20 rounds fired (followed Bartlein's break in procedure, cleaned using bore guide and KG solvents), immaculate condition
-Includes custom Whidden dies (sizer and seater) built from SAC's reamer print
-Price for barreled action/dies alone is $2500 shipped

If you buy the barreled action/dies and the stock/bottom metal/magazine together, I will discount to $3500 shipped.

Thanks for looking. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to see more pictures.
 
I will include 20 pieces of fire formed brass for free. I also have 100 pieces of virgin Lapua brass. I am not ready to include the Lapua brass for free though as the rifle is already heavily discounted.
 
The stock does not have a mini chassis and has not been bedded. It is just a straight inlet from Manners for this action.
 
Weight of everything together is 12.0 lbs.

I am willing to part with 100 pieces of virgin Lapua brass and 229 Berger 230 grain Hybrid target bullets (a 250 count box minus the 20 bullets used for barrel break in and one dummy round).

I will sell the Lapua brass and the bullets for $400 if you purchase the rifle, so $3900 shipped if you buy everything.
 
Barreled action, brass, and bullets sold. Stock and bottom metal still available.
