May I ask why you're selling it and what rifle you're using instead of it?

You certainly may.

I ordered this rifle coming off the high of my first Alaska adventure in 2022. This was before the big hit of the PRC line of chamberings. I don't reload so my ability to truly maximize the 280 AI is limited and factory loadings of 7PRC, for example, meet my needs better.

Also, while the rifle shoots very well and meets guarantees, rifles this light are not for everyone. Take that note together with my new found affinity for folding chassis rifles (I picked up a Sig Cross recently that I'm very much enjoying) and you see where this is heading.

I think something like the new Seekins folder in 7PRC is probably better for my use case than this rifle.

Thats a pretty good reason. Its a fine rifle for sure, if extreme light weight is your desire. Practice with such rifles is pretty much mandatory if you want it to shoot to its ability.

I have several of the older Ultra-Lightweight Weatherby rifles and they are shooters. I'm betting with handloads this one is a consistent 1/2 MOA rifle.

I have the same model, but in 6.5 RPM, and it's a shooter.
