Gradous built .243AI Defiance, McMillan, Jewell, Brux

[Killertraylor]

I had Robert Gradous build this rifle for me in 2012. It's a Defiance Sheep port (Rem model 7 size) action bedded in a McMillan mountain rifle stock with edge fill. Rifle with Talley 1" low rings weighs 6 lbs, 2 oz. It has a bead blasted 22" Brux No. 1 contour 8 twist barrel, adjustable Jewell trigger, ADL style mag box, fluted bolt and comes with the Talley lightweight rings/bases. I did the LOP at 13" to keep the rifle compact and also easy to shoot for kids and women. I ran 50 pieces of Lapua brass through it to fireform and the first load I tried with R17 and 90 grain Swift Scirocco's went 3336 fps and shot cloverleafs at 100 yards. Less than 80 rounds through the rifle. 18 pieces of brass included and will ship directly to buyer while rifle goes to FFL. $3950 shipped.

I knew Robert back then, RIP Brother.

Would you be interested in trading for this:

SELLING Thread 'SAC 260 PRS Rifle w/brass, dies, all for $3,000.00'

Rifle as shown in 260 Remington W/O scope or scope mount has been reduced to just $3,250.00 which includes seven 100 ct. boxes of Lapua brass, (3) 2x, (4) 3x all stainless steel wet tumbled, not sized.

I also have a Krieger 308 Winchester barrel with only 297 rounds. Honestly it has the same thread pitch as a few of my other actions, so it’s not important if it sells or not. If the buyer wants it, it’s ($800.00).

I’ll sell it with either barrel installed if a buyer wants a 308, vs the 260.

I’ve included a lot of extra's in my price. It’s not light, but compared to what a lot of other competitors have carrying around it is in open heavy.

Thank you for the offer but I have no use for a PRS rifle right now.

Free bump for the late Robert Gradous, GLWS.

HIS Rifles were all top notch, and very accurate!
