Savage Custom 7 SAUM / Tack Driver

[PowellSixO]

So I hate to sell this rifle, as it is the most accurate rifle that I own. It's also my favorite cartridge ever. It will almost do everything a 7 mm Rem Mag will do (50 fps slower), but with a LOT less powder, and a LOT less recoil. This thing kicks like a 243 win. Any who, my new custom 7 SAUM is almost finished, and it doesn't make sense to keep two of the same calibers. Plus I want some cash to put a new Nightforce NX8 or NXS or ATACR on the new 7 SAUM. This rifle started as a Savage 308 Model 10 Short action (Center feed with removable bottom mag, and top bolt release). The barrel was removed, and a X-Caliber 25", 1:9 Twist, Varmint Counter, 7 SAUM chambered, Cryogenic Frozen barrel was installed. I then purchased a HS-Precision PSV118 Stock, that was installed. The factory accutrigger has been modified to 1.5-2 lbs (can't remember exactly, but I can measure it). The trigger is amazing. Lite enough to be super accurate, but not lite enough to be scary for hunting. I also had a tactical bolt handle put on the rifle, as well as an EGW picatinny rail. The rifle includes the picatinny rail, bipod, and sling. NO SCOPE, RINGS, OR BUBBLE LEVEL INCLUDED. I have $460 in the stock, $500+ in the barrel, $350 in the Action, $100 in the trigger, $40 in the EGW picatinny rail, $45 in the bolt handle and knob, $75 in the bipod, and $30 in the sling. So almost $1600 in this rifle, excluding any labor. I will also include the load recipe I have worked up for this rifle, plus 20 rounds already loaded, so you can see what this rifle can do. This rifle can and will shoot .5 moa. I will give a 1 moa guarantee to whomever buys it, or I will buy it back. It currently shoots the 162 ELDX extremely well. I've put 20 round groups at or under an inch, at 200 yards, on multiple occasions. I have 155 documented rounds through this rifle. The loads are on the mild side, so this barrel has a LOT of life left in it. The only down side for me, is that it is a little on the heavy side. If I recall it weighs in around 9.5 lbs without the optic. I will make someone a great deal at $ 750 bucks FIRM. I don't need to sell, just trying to get into a new Nightforce ATACR a little quicker.  Only trades considered would be towards a Nightforce NXS or ATACR, and it must be in mils (with cash on my end obviously). Shoot me a text or call me at 435-668-9597. Pics are included of the rifle, and the very first 20 shot group ever taken at 200 yards (when zeroing the rifle). I bore sighted the rifle, and the VERY FIRST SHOT was 2" high. I dialed the scope down, and put the other 19 in the hole you see below it. Thanks for looking. Located in Show Low, AZ.
