    Left Hand 300 WBY & components

    Sorry about the late reply. I’ve been busy doing construction work and haven’t been online for a few days. The rifle is pending and I will put you down in case it falls through.
  2. Selling my M700 300WBY. It’s semi custom with a new barrel, brake, blueprinted action, and Timney Trigger. It started out life as a 300 RUM. Along with the rifle, it comes with DNZ one piece scope rings, sling, two sets of dies, bullets, brass, and ammo boxes. Nothing wrong with the rifle, I just don’t shoot it enough. I was one of those guys that thought I needed to have a magnum rifle. I find I choose others rifles to shoot all of the time. It has mostly been a back up rifle to take on hunts in case something happens to another. Reloads are fine, but it seems to really like Weatherby®️180 grain factory ammo. I’m located in Holbrook, AZ but sometimes travel to nearby towns. $628.00 OBO.

    Reloading bench ideas

    I also used lower and upper cabinets from a kitchen remodel. You can see it’s a matter of making it work since they’re not built to fit. You can see the old microwave nook and cabinets not reaching corner to corner. We did this 25 years ago and I since dressed it up by adding some 1x to make continuous shelving and filled in or created shelving to maximize whatever space is there. It’s a real small space. I also put fresh paint on the 70s era doors and drawers. I choose to keep the vintage hardware because I feel you can’t get rid of all the history.

    LH model 700 300 WBY

    Left hand Remington 700. Shilen barrel with brake, timney trigger, DNZ scope base, sling. Components include bullets, brass, dies and ammo boxes. Around 185 pieces of brass, mostly Weatherby brand and some Nosler. Bullets as shown, around 230 pieces. Two sets of dies. One RCBS and one Redding. Redding is new Type S Match. Most pieces of brass are once fired or new, never fired. I have 50 pieces loaded up with the TSX Barnes. Nothing wrong with the rifle. I just tend to not use it like I should. Maybe it’s because it’s kind of expensive to shoot. I use the non magnums almost all the time to hunt and I had this built because I thought I had to have a magnum. It really likes the factory Weatherby 180 grain partition and it shoots them as well as the reloads. They’re about $100 a box. Whole package is $1050.00. If interested in the rifle without all of the components or some of the components, I’m willing to separate if it’s fair for both parties. Message me here and I will check up throughout the days. I’m located in Holbrook, AZ but regularly visit Show Low, St. John’s and Winslow.

    Thanks to all for replies

    Good job making it a project. I had a lot of fun with my dad doing that. We started with a Baja Bug and went to a 55 CJ 5 with a 302 v8 and did a lot of tinkering on his planes. It helped me out because when anything went wrong, usually minor, I could fix it. It helped when it was a carburetor and computer minimum vehicle too.

    Would you spend this much on a Benchmade knife?

    My family has a thing with knifes. We even have our share of Benchmade. I don’t think anyone would buy that unless they are a collector. Titanium is very cool though. It’s not the price, because even the wealthy wouldn’t buy it since they are usually smart with money. It’s a hobby thing. I do like the modern knifes like this one over the old trapper type of yesterday. I think I will get a Case G-10 Marilla as an everyday carry.

    Custom 221 Fireball

    Real good deal. Someday I will get one. The Fireball is the perfect cartridge to shoot high volume center fire and not go broke. I got the K Hornet for this reason and it provides me much joy at the range. Congratulations to whoever got it. It will make a very useful rifle for you.

    Opinions

    16 year old could handle a 30-06. It’s a matter of trigger time more than any caliber. It’s important he shoots more than a few times before the hunt. I was handed a 270 when I was 13 and we used it all the time from the range to varmints before I went on a big game hunt.
