flyingfisherman Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) As you may know, im swapping calibres! Im changing from the trusty .308 to 7mm08. Ive had this .308 for over a year and know its history, its had around 300 rounds through it since new and also has had the barrel shortened from 26'' to 22''. The reason being is that with a P8 on the end of a 26'' barrel, it touches the ground! It was shortened, rethreaded with 1/2 UNF and an 11 degree crown put on by Steve Kershaw earlier this year. Now I used the rifle with a HS Precision stock which effectively makes it a R700PSS opposed to a R700SPS(V). I am selling the rifle in the original stock as a R700SPS(V) but if required then i would sell the HS stock with it. The other thing i would do is sell the HS stock separately. The rifle is in excellent condition and is accurate. After a minor moderator faff (faulty mod) it shot consistently MOA. £450 ONO for rifle WITHOUT HS Stock or £650 ONO with the stock. I also have reloading dies, brass and a new box of 150gn SSTs and a bag of 168gn HPBTs (pulled from PRVI ammo). If this is required, we could come to an arrangement. Pictures via email.

flyingfisherman Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Evenin fella, the rifle currently has the HS Precision stock on so doenst resemble how it will look when it sells. For info I will take £750 for it with the HS Precision stock on it, with this it's effectively a PSS. BW, FFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim. Sorry Tim all out for a while now, will let you know if i can get any more though. Why do you want a 30 cal? What are you shooting? The .308 is a good round.. Would you be interested in the rifle with the HS Precision stock or just with the standard? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingfisherman Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yes, but there's a lot of difference between a .30-06 and .308.. Just wondered what exactly ur looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 just hope no one tries to load a .30-06 in a .308 breech... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30-06_Springfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfisherman Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Righto - PRICE REDUCTION £350 AS A SPS OR £500 WITH THE HS PRECISION STOCK AS A PSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
