SOLD: Remington 700 8mm Rem Mag Semi Custom

SOLD

Remington 700 8mm Rem Mag w/ 24" Barrel
CV barrel stamp puts this at 1979 I believe.  It has an "A" series receiver.
The rifle was Cerakoted Armor Black here at Sawtooth Rifles
HS Precision stock in Olive Drab with black splatter
Stocky's Tactical Bottom Metal (steel)
EGW 0moa Picitiny scope base
RCBS Full Length dies
50 pieces of new Remington brass

This rifle belonged to a local customer that had me Cerakote it about a year ago.  He has since decided it isn't a target gun and is having me build something a little more appropriate for what he enjoys doing, and traded this towards that project.  He indicated it shot near MOA with factory ammo.  Like most Remington's, I suspect it would do better with a properly tuned hand load if anybody is brave enough to spend some bench time with this beast.  MOA with factory ammo ought to do just fine on an Elk I suppose.  The brass and dies go with the rifle, unless the buyer indicates no interest in them.  The factory ammo shown would be available for a local pick up, but I don't want to ship it.

The rifle is in great shape.  The Cerakote finish is still in good shape.  The sight screw holes in the barrel were filled with epoxy before coating.  They are apparent, but not blatantly obvious.  The bore is nice and shiny.  There is one very slight erosion mark on the bolt face.
