This rifle has shot several elk and has been hunted with. There are some very minor marks on the barrel from hiking through thick brush, but you have to look hard to see them. Overall this rifle is in fantastic condition. I will post several pictures showing as much as possible.

Load data: 81.0 grains H1000, 215 Berger @ .065" jump @ 2990
1/4 - 3/8 moa
2990 fps, ES typically ~15 fps

this was the first load I developed back in 2018 and I've only done a small bit of load development since then. This is not driving the 30 Nosler hard, and brass life is amazing.

I tried the 210 ABLR and found a great load with 79.0 grains of RL-26 @ .065" jump @ 3070 fps. 78.0 grains RL-26 hits the 2990 node. But never chose to hunt with that bullet.

Price for bare rifle: $4,200 obo
Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 F1 mounted with Nightforce Ultralight rings and Vortex pro bubble level for sale to rifle buyer only if interested for $5,500 obo

Shipped to your FLL only of course

Send me a PM if interested

Will follow this post with more pictures/targets

Hunting load:

Berger 215 Hybrid @ .065" jump and 81.0 grains H1000
2990 FPS @ single digit ES
shoots 1/4 - 3/8 MOA, several groups in the .1's and .2's ... basically this gun shoots better than I can

Here's the load with the Nosler 210 ALBR @ .065" jump:
79 grains RL-26

Some more targets showing initial load development with the Berger 215 Hybrid. Rifle generally likes a bit of a jump, but it is largely insensitive to seating depth. I think .065" shoots the best.

Here's one more with the Nosler 210 ABLR ... shows the rifle really likes the 2990 velocity node:

This rifle and load would be one heck of an elk Whacker for long range!

This is my favorite photo of this rifle. My wife actually shot this bull in one of the most remote basins in Colorado back in 2020 when I had a VX6HD 3-18x50 mounted on the rifle

Trying to show some minor marks in the cerakote from hunting through brush. You have to have the light just right to see them

How many more rounds could one expect to get out of the barrel accuracy wise?

How many more rounds could one expect to get out of the barrel accuracy wise?

With how I do not drive this 30 Nos hard (2990 fps node), always cool to stone cold between groups, keep the barrel very clean, and rarely shoot more than 3-shot groups, I expect groups to open up in the 1600 - 1800 range. My custom 300 win mag and 338 ultra mag held tight groups to 2000 rounds, but the 30 Nosler is slightly more overbore which is my I'm guessing 1600 - 1800 range.

Even if you take a more conservative value and drop down to the 1400 - 1600 round count estimate, there would still be over 50% barrel life remaining.

I have received a few messages on this rifle, and I am not interested in selling the scope separately as I really want to keep the scope for other rifles, but will sell as a kit with this rifle if the buyer wants a full package at a great price. A brand new build like this will cost north of $7k brand new all set up with scope and rings.

Also, the recoil is very manageable even with the streamlined muzzle brake. Although I have shot some elk with this rifle, it has primarily been my wife's rifle. She has no issues shooting it accurately and she has only been hunting since I bought this rifle back in 2018 (so not super experienced with rifles).

Beautiful rifle! Very similar components and Travis does excellent work.

I would be in the market if I haven't just sent him the parts for a similar 30 Sherman Mag build. That's a good looking piece there. GLWS.
