I have a varmint/bench rifle that needs a new home.  I had this rifle built less than 6 months ago and took delivery in late January '07.  My intention was to use it in 600yd matches and as a "bean field" rifle for whitetail, hogs and coyotes.  Here are the specs:
--Lothar Walther 26" Varmint Contour CM barrel (less than 400rds down the tube);
--Stevens 200 short action (purchased new 10/06);
--Stockade Gun Works Varmint/Tactical stock (also bought new 6/06);
--Sharp Shooters Supply Competition trigger (new);
--Sharp Shooters Supply Tactical bolt knob (new);
--Sharp Shooters Supply recoil lug (new);
--Eagle Stock Pad (new);
--one piece picatinny scope base (new);

Rifle assembly was completed by master riflesmith Keith Warner of Memphis, TN.  The action has been glass bedded into the stock and the fit is perfect.  The rifle was properly broken in per Lothar Walther's directions and shoots like a house afire.  Performance has been excellent with both 139gr. Lapua Scenar and 140gr. Berger VLDs (see pics of some groups).  The condition and finish of the rifle is immacualate. 

I'm selling because I'm doing a lot of skeet & trap shooting and I need a new shotgun.  Price for the rifle is $900 shipped.  Scope is not included in the sale.  Payment through US Postal Money order. Must ship to FFL unless we do a FTF transaction (I'm in Memphis, TN).  The rifle is also being offered for sale locally.

Thanks & please let me know if you have any questions at ceylonc@hotmail.com or through the messenger function. 

 

600yd. 4-shot group

Updated 5/23 with NEW PRICE!

 

Guys, this rifle needs a new home.  I turned quite a few heads on the 600yd line with this rifle.  I'm not God's gift to marksmanship but the rifle shoots a consistant sub .5 MOA or better from 100yds-600yds. 

Email, call or PM me with questions.

Thanks
