SirShagalott Report post Posted May 10, 2013 Another one of my custom rifles up for sale... This custom build started as a Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight factory model (from the factory it weighs under 6lbs) in the .257 Weatherby cartridge ($2,100 MSRP...no I didn't pay retail...who does that). I stripped the fluted #2 contour factory barrel (still have it if you want it) and had a Shilen match barrel installed, the receiver was blue printed, bolt face was trued and lugs lapped, stock was then glass bedded, then added a Timney trigger, a 20 MOA rail, Talley rings and to top it off I just mounted the Nightforce 5.5-22x56 scope with the NPR-1 illuminated reticle to sweeten the deal. Awesome deer rifle, flat shooter, shoots sub 1/2" groups with Weatherby factory ammo and my custom loads. (It loves the Barnes 115g TSX bullets (devastating when they hit animals). $3,000 for the full set up PLUS over 150 brass (some are brand new-never even prepped, all brass are factory Weatherby), RCBS dies and just under 100 of the 115 TSX bullets I have left. Call with questions, thanks for looking... Ric 602-330-4664 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
