Oct 17For sale is a custom 7-300 win mag custom ELR rifle with Bartlein barrel and Mirage ULR chassis made by PMAC precision. Rifle comes as a package ready to go which includes a scope, custom load, confirmed DOPE to 2,550 yds, dies, bullets brass - everything you need to hit targets to 2,500 +. Avoid the 4-6 month wait for a custom builder. It has approximately 400 rounds down the tube. I took the ELR3000 course with this rifle and reliably hit targets to 2,551 (~2/5 were hits). I have a custom hand load as well as a load worked up by Copper Creek Cartridge that is sub 0.5 MOA and can be ordered direct from CCC if you are not a reloader. This is the load I used to hit out to 2,551 yds. Asking $5,995 for everything plus shipping (rifle alone is $6,700 + 6 month wait when new). I added everything up and it is well over $10,000 for everything included. Details on what is included in ELR package (happy to discuss any and all details by phone): Rifle: The rifle is a PMAC precision 7-300 win mag ( https://www.pmacprecision.com/rifle-packages ). It is essentially the same as Rex's and was built about the same time. I have heard that a rifle similarly configured has been used in field in limited circles. It has a 26 inch Bartlein heavy profile (MTU contour) barrel with a 1:8 inch twist. Action is a Stiller TAC 300 with 30 MOA scope rail. Trigger is a Jewell. Muzzle brake is an APA Gen II Fat Bastard. The chassis is a Mirage ULR chassis with an upgraded adjustable stock (the stock is awesome and has a lot of adjustment). Scope: IOR Recon 1 with 40 MM main tube. The scope tracks 100% on paper (see pics) and all the way out to 2,500 yds +. Has German Schott glass. It comes with a 40 MM American Rifle Co. 30 MOA M10 QD-L scope base ($300), a 40 MM bubble level ($34), Tenebreax cover for ocular ($38) and an objective sunshade. Reloading equipment: - Redding 7/300 win mag die set - 150 Nosler 300 win mag virgin cases - 120 RWS 300 win mag brass (virgin): this is arguably the very best 300 win mag brass and is very expensive ($41/20 and only available from one location). - 200 once fired Hornady cases from Copper Creek Cartridge loads - 150 195 gr Berger EOL bullets - 100 197 gr Sierra bullets - 100 Hornady 180 gr bullets Data/resources: - Custom Ballistic XLR ballistic data package with DOPE past 1 Mile (includes many tertiary ballistic data) - Confirmed DOPE to 2,500 https://i.imgur.com/Tg5wi2A.jpg
Do you know anyone who has the Blue Book of Gun Values? Maybe you could find it at your local library? I didn't look very closely, but they appear to have a website. http://bluebookofgunvalues.com/
What's the set-up and do you give discounts for Facebook friends? ;-)
Well I already sold it. I was just wondering if I went to cheap.
I want something new, the more I look at new rifles the more I get confused.
Sellers remorse, huh? I'd say forget about it and don't let it ruin your day!
The number of choices is overwhelming!
Just build exactly what you want. That's what I did. Not as expensive as you might think if you play your cards right. I'm VERY happy with my setup so far and I'm in my rifle for about a grand for everything from the scope base downward. Actually have more money in the glass than I do the rifle itself.
You know, i was thinking about this myself....lets use the same situation but for the example lets replaces guns and parts for a car. you leave the lot with it and comeback 2 months later and decide to trade it/sell it for a new car. how much do you get back?
Probably half what you bought it for. Maybe a little more. Firearms are a different animal though. Tend to hold value. I bought a Ruger 77 new about 14 years ago for $500-ish. Sold it two years ago for $400 when I had about $650 tied up in it. Not bad considering it wasn't in nearly as good of shape as when I got it (it was a "truck gun"). Sold it to (help) finance my precision rifle project.
I've sold a scope that the "Gold Ring" folks failed to correctly repair, a couple of 25 round mags that wouldn't seat in my Maten, and an arm brace that I didn't need since I paid ATF their 200 bucks. (Where the hell is my tax stamp for my can? It's closing in on a year!)
I'm old, but pretty new to the joys of firearm ownership, so my collection can be counted on one hand, and may not expand much after the bolt action I buy soon(ish).
I hope never to have to sell any of my guns!
I took small losses on every item I sold, but they went to people I know well and like!
Point I was making is at the end of the day you are still selling a used item, and it SHOULD have a used value. If I bought a rifle for $500 put 200 rds through it...that's a condition that is not on the shooter buying it from you. 200 rds with one of my rifles may not be broken in the way person A likes it, and I might be using peak pressure reloads that might not appease person B. However people get away with selling used firearms by lowering the coast a tad bit and making it the best offer or maybe in a location like Cali where it's off the roster and personal party transfer might be the only way to legally have said weapon in the state...then it becomes over priced.
