FS: Rem 700 VS in 220 swift w/ Leup VX III 6.5-20

[Daniel77]

I'm a member of several forums, including Ultimate Pheasant Hunting, but thought this was far better suited here. I have more pics if anyone wants them, but it is limiting me to 4 here.

For sale, Rem 700 varmint special in 220 swift with matte finish. This has the 24" heavy barrel, w/ synthetic aluminum-pillared stock.
It wears a Leupold Vari X III 6.5-20 40mm, also with matte finish. I dearly regret having to part with her, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My loss and someone else's gain.

The scope has a target turret for the elevation, and the elevation knob cover does have some minor scratches on it. It also has Butler Creek scope covers on both ends. I still have the sun shade, but it won't go on at the same time as the scope cover.

This gun has no more than 150 rounds fired, including the first 50 as a barrel break in, and one box of factory loads. The rest has been very promising load development. Nothing has been over MOA yet. The group pictured is a 5 shot, 100 yd .32" and I've got another that is a 3 shot 100 yd .12", but can't find the target right now to post a pic. With the very limited load development, I'd fully expect this to turn out as a 1/4 MOA shooter. It's certainly the most accurate rifle I've ever owned.
I have adjusted the factory trigger, myself, down to around 2# and can say that it is the sweetest trigger of any of my guns, including a Timney on a Ruger 77.
This gun has only been in its case and at the range, and has yet to make it to the field. I consider it to be in excellent condition, with a few very minor blemishes. Price is $1125 shipped to you/FFL for what will very likely be a 1/4 MOA prairie dog nightmare with very nice glass. Open to offers, but no trades. Thanks

This really is a very nice rifle, certainly the best shooter I've ever owned, and I hate to sell it, but must due to financial concerns, and we don't have prairie dogs around here after all.
Brass and dies would also be available. Dies are Forster Bench rest dies in good condition, and includes overall length gauge. I'll have to check, but I think I've got a couple hundred cases, definitely have 48 that are already loaded for next trip to the range for load development. Have to check around, but price will be reasonable.

Thanks,
