for-sale Custom LEFT HAND Remington 700 7.62mm HB

[Whisper]

It's time to let this one go to a new loving home.  I originally had this rifle built for me because I wanted to try long-range shooting, but I got distracted by service rifle matches with open sights and never did shoot this one that much.  So I'm hoping there's someone else looking for it.

This is a Remington 700 with 24" Krieger barrel, McMillan forest camo stock.  It's built in the USMC M40A1 pattern, with work done by Mike Lau at Texas Brigade Armory.  You can visit his website and read full specs on this rifle at Rifles.  No scope included; I shot it with a Leupold 12x varmint scope, which I'm keeping.  T

Also included with the rifle is a Starlight heavy-duty gun case.  These were once billed as the toughest gun cases made, but the company went out of business in about 2012.   New guns now come with Doskocil, Gun Guard, or Pelican cases. This case is as tough as the day it was made.  Check eBay and you'll see astounding prices for these things. 

This is certainly a gun that will have a small pool of interested buyers, but I decided that TGO would be the best place to offer it for sale first because I know there are some leftys here.  If I can't find a buyer in a reasonable time, I'll either consign it with one of the local gun shops or else perhaps try selling it on Gunbroker, although since the gun and case weight 33.6 pounds, shipping costs would be horrendous.  Better to sell it to a nice TN citizen.   

I want $2400 for the gun and case.  I'll consider trades or partial trades.  Since this is my only gun in this caliber, and I have a great stockpile of ammo, I'd be interested in another .308 or 7.62 rifle, but in a sporter weight.  A Ruger SFAR would be great.  I'm also interested in Colt or Colt-pattern (USFA, Cimarron, Taylor, Uberti, etc.) single action revolvers in .38 or .357 with short barrels.  I always like .44 Special revolvers (no five-shot models, please).  Other trade offers cheerfully considered, but I don't need any more AR-style rifles except the Ruger SFAR, and no more plastic pistols except the HK VP9 or the CC9.  I live in Chattanooga but will drive a reasonable distance for a deal.

Feel free to ask questions or to request more photos.  

Thanks for looking,

Whisper

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.
