*SCOPE IS SOLD**
Howa 1500 in 7 mag in an HS Precision stock. This is the Randy Newberg edition. Cerakoted, threaded, includes radial brake. Weighs 8.5 lbs as it sits in the photos. HACT trigger (surprisingly crisp). Leupy VX3i 3-10, custom CDS dial has not been redeemed and is available to purchaser. See screen shot. Round count is exactly 52.
Why am I selling? I know you'll ask. I bought this rifle as a package with ammo last weekend, locally. I've always wanted to try out an unbraked 7mag against my unbraked 300WM to see if the recoil reduction is worth the step down. To me, it's definitely not. I brought the rifle home, cleaned it, tightened up the absurd number of loose items (I'm fairly sure the passed owner thought it was a lemon, but he had four screws loose. Action, scope, barrel centering screw, windage screw on mounts) and brought it to the range. I shot four rounds of Hornady 154gr SP to get it fouled and to get used to the trigger, then shot four rounds of Barnes factory 140ttsx. First three shots went 3/4", fourth opened it up to an inch. I was impressed by the accuracy with what little I shot it but not impressed with the unbraked recoil. Not interested in shooting a braked 7 mag, but you may be!
If there was a flaw on the rifle to highlight I would. It's pert near perfect and has never seen the woods. The only blemish was caused by me while tightening the windage screw on the rear mount. I slipped and scuffed the black paint.
I need $625 for rifle and rings via PayPal or Venmo. If you're uncomfortable sending money to a junior member, I can bring it to a local ffl for shipping who can verify they have it in their hands ready to ship before you send me the money. They can also verify the near flawless condition. You pay shipping!
