I bought this and the sheer amount of time it has taken to complete this transaction has left me no longer interested. No fault of the sellers, he had a planned hunting trip the day after we came to an agreement and I sent funds. The biggest reason is I have a WTO 6.5-280 Ackley inbound and another 6.5-280 Ackley being built in Montana around my own reamer.
I don't see any reason to not believe the seller about the condition of the rifle and accessories. We had a thorough discussion before I ever sent any money.
Brass, ammo and dies based on original owner's count
20 - 142 grain Nosler AccuBond long range ammo
3 - 127 grain Barnes bullets
172 new primed brass
24 fired brass
22 - 127 grain reload bullets
RCBS Reloading Dies
Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter 26 Nosler, 26" 8 twist barrel, factory radial brake, comes with Leupold rings and bases, I will include a set of 2 piece DNZ mounts as well. 50 shots fired according to original owner, no load data or accuracy results.
I am looking for a bare X-Bolt 6.5 Creedmoor in trade for the entire setup, Micro Midas or similar. I can always buy a McMillan in the correct LOP I need to. I may consider other short action Browning X-Bolt rifles, no magnum calibers since the trade will be for the wife.
Ammo, primed brass, brass, bullets and dies arrived yesterday and everything was as described.
Rifle has arrived and I will most likely pick it up tomorrow.
I will get detailed pictures of everything Thanksgiving morning.
FTR: I plan on rebarreling this to a 7 PRC if it doesn't find a home.

Not doing a 28 Nosler either, if it doesn't sell, I will send it to Colorado and have it rebarreled to 7 PRC. I already have a #4 Brux 8 twist that will finish at 26".
I don't want to cut it up, but I am not going to lose money on it.

I called Kevin Weaver to see if he wants to tackle this project. I have an 8 twist #4 Brux that is fluted and will finish at 26". I also ordered 2 300 PRC magazines from Midwest.
Now to list the dies and components for the 26 Nosler
