***SOLD***


I am selling a top shelf build from LRI. Rifle has exactly 200 rds through it and has never been hunted with. It's in nearly perfect condition, and is the high quality you would expect from Long Rifles Inc. Reason I'm selling is because I have a 300WSM that is nearly identical to this one that gets all the hunting attention, so the 7Saum is just sitting in the safe.

Here are the details...
*Action: Defiance Deviant Ultralight short action.
*Barrel: Proof Carbon Sendero 1:8.4 twist at 24". Muzzle threaded 5/8x24 with Thunderbeast CB30 brake
*Stock: Manners EH1 in Elite Swamp bedded with the action. Has a front Pic rail for a bipod and flush cups left side and bottom.
*Bottom metal: American Precision Arms RTG with their excellent mag release that's integrated into the trigger guard.
*Trigger: Jewel trigger set at 1.5 lbs
*Cerakote: Elite Smoke on all metal
*Magazine: Will come with one 3 round Accurate Mag.

*Weight: without mag or scope is 6.8 lbs. So it's a nice easy to carry weight for a long range hunter.

*Other: The only marks on this rifle include the usual brass rash behind the ejection port where spent brass hits the action, and I had to remove some of the finish on the bipod rail to get on of my bipods to slide over it. There are also a couple of slight scratches on the bolt knob. All of this can be seen in the pictures.

*Price: $3300 shipped to your FFL in plastic case. PayPal F&F preferred. Other payment methods will be considered.

Thanks!

Had a couple of questions on this...

Load data - I never did load development for this rifle. I bought 200 rounds of ammo from Copper Creek with Berger 175 Elite Hunters. They shot great so that's all I used for the little I shot it.

Trades - not overly interested in trades. Might consider a high end 223 with proof or lighter contour barrel at 18-20". Otherwise really looking to sell outright.
 
It shoots just like you'd expect a rifle from LRI with these components to shoot. Half moa consistently and best groups in the 0.3's.

I never actually did any load development for this one so it might shoot even better. Just bought 200 rds of Copper Creek ammo. It was Norma brass and 175 Berger Elite Hunters, but I'm unsure of their powder type or charge weight.

7 SAUM is where it's at. Best short action magnum IMO. Ballistics are superb. This rifle is very tempting, but I don't "need" two 7 SAUM rifles ;)
