	Here's what makes up this custom Rifle:
	
	Started with a Remington 700 only ~$300 worth of the rifle was used=
, action, stock and titanium bedding. $300 dollars is all I'm using in m=
y price below. 
	The Action has been reworked:
		=

  

    Single point recieve & bolt 
    $150
  
  
    Double sleeve bolt 
    $150

  
  
    Custom Lug 
    $31
  
  
    Bush pin hole .0625 

    $40
  
  
    GTR Firing Pin assembly 
    $49
  
  

    Titanium Firing Pin 
    $75
  
  
    Sako extractor 
    $95
  



	
	New K&P 28" Barrel Chambered to 300 WSM, .334 Neck, with Heavy Varm=
it Tapper.  Barrel ($290), Work ($200).  See http://www.gtrto=
oling.com">Greg Tannels site  for what he does to the barrels.
	
	Vias muzzle break, GTR modified. ($210)
	
	Stock: Bed and open barrel channel ($135)

	Trigger Jewell w/ bolt release ($205)
	Newlon neck die, cut the same as the chamber. ($95) 
	Wilson seater dir, also custome to the chamber ($95) 
	Leupold 24 BR Scope ($500) There are a few scratches on it from the=
 rings when it was install on my last rifle. The scope works wonderfully=
. It's actually worth $600, but i took $100 off for the scrathes and gen=
eral ware on the exterior. 
	Hard Case ($100)
	Dewey Cleaning rod ($40)

	

	I will gladly include a copy of the reciept from http://w=
ww.gtrtooling.com">Gre-Tan that shows that all the work was done and=
 how much I paid. The serial number on the rexiept matches the rifle. The total for all the work done the value of the scope an=
d the net value of the orginal remington rifle ($300) comes to:
  $2760. 
	The custom Dies are included as is everything listed above. 
	I will through in the brass that I have which is, if I'm not mistake=
n about 200 pieces, it could be more. I will through in the rest of the =
Berger 210 bullets I have, maybe 100.  I have some rounds I made for a m=
atch that haven't be used. I will include them too,  11 to be exact. Con=
sider the brass, bullets and finished rounds as free-bes not to be consi=
derd into the price.

	Here's the current load I'm using:
	Winchester Brass, Necked at 0.13". All necks are turned. all brass i=
s sized and all have been fired at least once. 
	  Hogdon H4350, 62.5 Grians
OAL 3.097, that is rough from one of the pre made rounds.  I would sugge=
st using a comparator to match from the olgive.	
	I have put about 300 rounds through the chamber. I have taken excell=
ent care of the rifle.
	  
	  That consists of brake in: 1 round then clean ten times, 2 rounds the=
n clean ten times, then 3 rounds and clean ten times, 60 rounds.

	  
	  About 150 rounds for load development and general practice. I don't g=
et too much of that. I can only shoot to 100 yards except at the matches=
.
	  
	  About 100 rounds at matches
	  . (average 10 rounds per match X 10 matches) 
	  
	  I clean between every 10 rounds. +/- a few given how many I need to f=
ire for a match. when working loads, every 5 rounds.
	  

	  The rifle is used, but slightly. The offset for being able to get one=
 now rather than wait a year somewhat offsets the cost. This is why I'm =
setting the Buy It Now at $2500.00. The openning bid will reflect the ch=
ance to get it slightly cheaper.  If you're considering getting into the=
 sport this is a great wayto get your feet wet. It will pay for itself. =
Even if all you do is hunt groundhogs 600 to 1200 yards with it, you'll =
get plenty of use out of it. 
	  
	
	NOTE: The Rear Bag and Rest are not part of this sale.
	Buyer pays shipping, handleling (just packaing, ~$10) and taxes. The sh=
ipping comes from Richmond, VA 23234. I will ship anyway you like, USPS =
or UPS are the easiest. USPS will incur a FFL fee on my side to be paid =
by buyer.. There will be two packages. The first is the rifle in the har=
d case. The second will be the brass, bullets and rounds. 
	If you're wondering why I'm selling it. I had my fun, now I'm lookin=
g to get into pistol competitions. Maybe I'll do better there. This is a=
 great rifle. It will shoot better than I can make it shot. I have no pr=
oblem letting it go at a loss because I did enjoy the matches I shot. I =
hope who ever purchases the rifle will enjoy it as much. 1,000 yard is j=
ust not for me.
	Good luck and thank you for looking at my auction.
