Nesika Rifle

Hi all,
Wanted to voice my feeling about a new deer rifle I bought this year. A Nesika long range in 7mm Rem Mag. I paid $2600 shipped and insured from Buds gun shop in Lex Ky. I know this is a lot of money but for all practical purposes it is a custom rifle, which would run at least a thousand dollars more, so in some ways I think it is a good value. It has a Nesika action with a 26" fluted Douglas air gauged barrel. Timney trigger and Bell and Carlson stock. I have owned 7mm rem mags before but they never shot as well as I wanted so thought I would take a chance on this one. I am very pleased, I started working up a load with recepies that worked good in other rifles. It shot all the loads well but at max of 70gr RL-22 and 140gr Nosler BT it shot into .25" at 3165fps. I put a nightforce 4-14x56 scope on it with the MOA reticle. Just shot two deer with it, one at 250yds and one at 300yds. Love this rifle!

Stosh, how has your Nesika performed? I realize this is a zombie thread, but I've just bought one of these myself and I would like to know what works and what doesn't. What is it like to lug around? What loads does your barrel like? How do you like the scope?

Hey sorry just now saw your post. I LOVE this rifle!!! It shoots .25" groups and never changes zero! I shoot one shot before season each year to check. I shoot 140gr nosler BT over 70gr of rl-22. I have never missed with this rifle! I have shot coyotes at 300 yds, deer at 400 yds and many inbetween and it just shoots!! I have a nightforce 5-20 x 50 moa reticle. I baught in 2015 and have never looked back!
 
Nesika made good stuff, have a few of their actions on custom rifles. Later in life they were the Remington Custom Shop along with Dakota Arms. Now, who knows. Last I heard those operations had been bought by Park West Arms? Hope they can find a way forward because the products have always been top notch. IMO, both companies suffered greatly from poor marketing.
