300RUM Carbon One Custom built on trued rem 700 action and tuned rem trigger set to 2.5# Built by Chritensen Arms. Bedded into HS Precision stock by Wayne York. Removable titanium muzzle break with Ti thread protector. Recoil similar to a .270 or 06. Wyatts extended OAL mag box.(measured it at 3.80") Match grade 26" carbon fiber wrapped barrel 1:12 twist. Scratch on top of tang. BDL floor plate. It weighs 7# 11oz with the 20moa base and foam/shellholder on the stock.
To be honest this rifle just shot ok when I bought it from Christensen. Mostly MOA or better. It was good enough for me and my ability at the time. A year later I sent it to Wayne York in Pendleton for the extended mag, and he suggested bedding it, including the first few inches of the barrel. He had done it to several CF barrels and said it drastically improved accuracy. When I got it back there was such a noticeable difference that I moved load development and testing out to 200yards. It's not picky with powders or bullets, and will likely shoot factory ammo well too. The only bullet I couldn't get to shoot was, the 230gr Bergers. They are too heavy/long to stabilize with this twist barrel. (I had a feeling but tried anyway
My goto load is a 200gr accubond factory second over Ramshot Magnum. It gives me 3225fps, and shoots 3shots at 1"-1.5" @ 300 yards very consistently. I have other data from load testing as well.
It has 330 shots down the barrel. It is truly a turn key long range setup. I had a backpack 300WSM built a few years back and my RUM rarely sees action anymore. I also have a 338 NM being built, to be less mobile version of my RUM. So long story longer this rifle needs a new home.

I won't sell the brass, dies or Nosler ABs seperate until the rifle sells, so I kindly ask that you don't waste your time with it.
I will also throw in a few steel gong targets, and spend a day going over the basics of the long range stuff for full price offers.
3300$ for everything with B&L scope
(New would be 5150$ for rifle and scope alone)
3600$ for everything with the Leupold
(New rifle and scope would cost 5600$ alone)
