What's not to believe you ask???

How about that guy posted over 150 pictures of everything from every page of the scope manual to a crappy political cartoon!!! WOW!!! He's either REALLY desperate to sell or REALLY ANAL RETENTIVE about visually depicting every possible detail. Hey...at least he didn't post any 3-round groups!!

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Dremel job on the TG for the jewell clearance and rear guard screw being way to short make me think there was some bubba smithing on that stick after the fact.

What the hell is a Shirleen barrel btw?

 

[Alderleet]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

I guess i might be the only one, but to me, a trued rem 700 isnt worth anything near 6K. Period.

Also, "shirleen barrel"? wtf?

I think that "shirleen" is Shilen's fat, ugly cousin...you know, the one that they have to tie a bone around her neck just to get the dog to play with her!!

Re: You are not going to believe this.

A "structured finance" guy wants to sell a hunting rifle. Hopefully to a hedge fund manager. For gold.

1/2" groups @ 400yds..

Re: You are not going to believe this.

You'd think anyone with that amount of pics of his gear would "know" his gear and how to spell it.

Guess I see so much stupid shit on the web that this just didn't meet my threshold for incredulity.

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Wow. Bet there's an interesting story behind the creation of that boomstick. If that's "the crown jewel of his collection", I wonder what else he's got squirreled back?

 

[frog5215]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

1/8 minute rifle. Cool.

 

[Badshot308]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

"I just lowered the price of the rifle by $2,000. Originally it was $8,000 but I lowered the price for a quick sale. this is the deal of the century now." Yeah,OK. I think I'll pass on this "deal"...

I wouldn't even give him the amount he discounted it by to buy it.

Re: You are not going to believe this.

I will take it....lol

 

[9H_Cracka]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Too bad it has a defective stock - look at the seam and the fiberglass cloth. And to think it was the "Crown Jewel" of his collection.

Wow, just WOW.

 

[J-Ham]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

I read WAY too much of that. For some reason, I couldn't turn away.

Re: You are not going to believe this.

One Long Winded Post if you ask me.He forgot the Custom Fitted Screwdriver with the custom fitted screws on the custom fitted rings for the custom fitted bases for the custom fitted.............

 

[Csf45]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

haha damn i wish i had the money, that IS the deal of the century!

 

[Belisarius]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Can you guys have a bit more respect and integrity? Counter sniper, we are talking about!!! Long range, bench rest, high power, tactical, NO, it's a counter sniper with a Sako extractor! Are y'all kidding me?
You could shoot a mosquito's dick off at 1000 yards without ruffling the balls!

 

[Biscuit]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Before I spend that kind of money on rifle I would need to see more pics of the scope rings

I wonder if it comes with an autographed copy of the novel he wrote for an ad ? I lost interest after the third chapter.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

"Lapped bolt, which as you know is a very long and laborious process."
Really? You mean before or after he "trued" it? If he had to lap the bolt long scooter there is something wrong with his trueing methods.
I am not a very smart man...but I know bullshit when I smell it.

 

[Oodin]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

I think the best part of the ad is the first 3 pictures.

THREE PICTURES of the catalog he ordered the scope from!!!

 

[jlaw973]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

If there was something you didn't get to see of it, I bet he has more pics and info he could send you. Would really suck to have 56K for that one!!

 

[AK10mm]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

I DARE ANY ONE OF YOU TO ASK HIM TO EMAIL YOU MORE PICTURES !!!!!

Just tell him you are Very Interested and have Gold Bullion on hand with a "Special Courier"standing by.The Lear Jet is on the Runway.

 

[ReaperDriver]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Wow, that was like watching a train wreck in slow-motion

 

[el gordo2]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

457 pictures of every item at every angle imaginal and not one pic of a cherry picked 3 shot group. That was the deal breaker for me.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">-Shirleen match barrel: This was not an off the shelf custom barrel. I was told this company is out of business now but they made some very, very high end barrels which were cryologically frozen during the manufacturing process so that the atoms would align better in the metal. I was told the barrel is made out of stainless steel. The barrel has an aggressive crown muzzle and is very heavy. </div></div>

I wonder what this idiot paid for this thing, he obviously believed everything someone told him. Too funny

 

[jlaw973]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

IDIOT!!!! I think you hit it on the head there! I know hardly shit, but even I could read through that bull-shit. But on the other hand, I haven't gotten a rifle put together yet. Maybe this would be good first one. You know, make that first big mistake to learn from. Anyone want to lone a guy some money for their first "custom sniper rifle"?

 

[jlaw973]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Sorry, "Counter Sniper Rifle".

 

[jasonk]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

He has 123 feedback's on GB.com, I doubt he overpaid. He's probably very good at writing ads that occasionally sucker some newbie into over paying. A guy doesn't buy and sell 123 items and not have some idea on the real value of that gun.

He sold a stock S&W M&P AR and also took about 100 pictures of it. I guess you couldn't complain that you didn't know what you were getting.

 

[jlaw973]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

You definitely get to see every little bit of it. He is truly thorough in his descriptions, that's for sure.

 

[TrooperBrian]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

While I agree its not worth anywhere near that, you have to respect the guy for posting so many pictures.

 

[CanPopper]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Sheesh...$4k for a Counter Sniper? I only paid $400 for mine (j/k)

 

[i_rep]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

My favorite is the detailed pics of the Leupy Mark 4 scope rings at the top, then there are some diffferent rings mounted on the rifle.

No you forgot to mention the paint on the torx screws so you can be sure that it returns to zero. LMAO

 

[desertrat1979]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Sorry, but even if that action had a GAP job done to it, there is nothin there that would make me think that whole setup exceeds 2k, scope included. And is that a factory remington tupperware stock? I think its great that he has all that detail in explaining the rifle pictorally, but does he have any documentation on the rifle itself? Hell, anyone can do an engraving. That could have been trued-lapped-custom fitted by "Joe Shit-the-Ragman" bargain barn of gunsmithing for all we know.

 

[vman]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Way too many pics going on

 

[GorbashUK]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Is it me or is this just a stock remmy 7, painted stock and new barrel. Dunno if the action is true as havent seen any 1/8 moa groups yet. This guy is fookin mental, have to be even more mental to buy it though.

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

It may or may not be an excellent shooting rifle, but I don't see anything to lead me to believe it's worth the asking price.

However, you never know. There may be someone else out there who thinks it is.

Yeah, there are plenty of men with more dollars than sense.

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Wow, I'm embarressed for this guy.

He's from WI not an hour and a half from my shop, first I've heard of him, dosen't help that he shares a name with Real gun builders.

His work looks piss poor, I especially like the sako instal where he never filled/bushed the bolt face to remove the remy extractor slot.

 

[OlsenG_360]

Re: You are not going to believe this.

Looks to me like you get a $1,900 scope as-is with an unknown stick attached. Then you get charged $1 for every picture he posted.
