$3,000.00 Custom 257 Weatherby Magnum, Mark V, Nightforce NXS, Shilen Barrel, Timney Trigger, Talley Rings

Recommended Posts

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,

 

I have that same factory rifle. Who did all the work on it and what did it cost? The .257 Weatherby is my favorite caliber.
