SOLD
I have another abandoned project that needs a new home. This rifle started life as a brand-new Remington/AAC collaboration called the Micro 7. And like many of these rifles, squeezing all the potential accuracy out of the barrel proved challenging. About 200 rounds later I had given up. Of the many possible factors, I was convinced the fault lied in the aggressively-fast 1/7" rifling twist which was done to allow stabilization of super-heavy subsonic bullets. Super-heavy bullets which where the only subsonic option in 300BLKOUT at the time.
That said, I decided to overhaul the rifle with a new match-grade 1/10" twist barrel. This twist would be much better suited for supersonic bullets, and as a hand-loader, I also have the flexibility to create subsonic rounds using lighter bullets that would stabilize in a 1/10" twist barrel. Although these days, subsonic factory loads with lighter bullets are also more readily available.
Unfortunately I don't have the time or resources to see this project through. Since the new barrel was installed, it has only been test-fired by the gunsmith. This rifle is looking for a good home with someone who can appreciate the uniqueness and flexibility of this tactical/hunting hybrid. I also convinced to sell the stock separately, as it originally included an MDT LSS Gen2 chassis (last picture). I still think it is a great stock choice for this setup, but Boyd's and Bell and Carlson make more traditional stock variants. Or I guess you could go really crazy and get a Manners or McMillan.
- Remington Model 7 action
- customized bolt fluting and bolt handle (Pro Precision Rifles)
- 16" Lothar-Walther medium-heavy stainless barrel, 1/10" twist (Pierce Engineering)
- 5/8-24 tpi threaded muzzle
- Will include both the 20 MOA scope rail, and a pair of 30mm Talley ring/bases with enlarged 8-40 screw holes
- Four (4) pounds, ten (10) ounces as shown
Asking $550 shipped to your FFL, who must accept from individuals. No trades, please. (chassis and bipod not included)
Thanks for looking
