Picked this up no too long ago from a guy back east. Evidently was bought along with another in 221 Fireball for some varmint hunting trip that couldn't happen due to bad illness.
Both rifles went to a local gunsmith for some fine tuning, thus the fluted bolt & reworked (older) trigger.......... it's light & breaks like glass.
Anyway, the guy said he put about 50 rounds through it (I have no reason to doubt it from the condition). I've put about 200 rounds through myself, it's a shooter. 1/2 inch groups (sometimes better with a good driver!) at 100 meters with 52gr Sierras & Varget.
Has a Bell & Carlson stock, free floated. Not sure if it's bedded as I've never had the stock off.
BSA Contender 4-12 power scope.
I put a different recoil pad on (though I didn't grind it to match the contour) because the original was sticky to the touch. (think it got wiped down with Hoppes)
Been buying too many rifles lately. Something needs to go.

I'm in Yelm.
