I had LRI build this a few years back. Did some load development on it, then never shot it again. The barrel's a 24" stainless cut rifled K&P in the standard Remington 700 Varmint contour with I believe a 1:7.5 twist, and the actions a stainless 700 short action. They blueprinted the action, timed the bolt handle, installed dual ejectors, M16 style extractor, and enlarged the scope base holes to 8-40. The trigger's a single stage Triggertech special set at around 1lbs. It has a steel 20moa base on it along with an Erik Cortina precision bolt shroud. Had the local cerakoter coat the entire gun. I then bought a custom HS Precision stock, and had a reputable smith glass bed it.
While working up a load, I used Alpha brass, federal srp's, Varget and Berger 140 grain hybrids, and it would never shoot over .75" no matter what charge weight went in. The load it liked was 37.3 grains. (never got to attempting to max out the velocity) When I found that, I then moved on to the other guns in my fleet and kind of never came back to it. It has around 250 rnds through the pipe. To shoot this I took it off the wall, put in a hard case, took it to the bench, back in the hard case, and back on the wall and that's how it lived.
Now the possible 'con'; I feel personally, the gun feeds better with the blind magazine box seated tight in the receiver rather than just hanging inside the stock, which it does. The smith that bedded it told me this is how they were made, with some play in them. Your mileage may vary. And lastly, when the receiver was being faced to true it up, they took a little more off the receiver than normal, which makes the recoil lug sit about .020" further back in the stock than factory, so if you want to switch stocks on this rifle, you'll have to shave a tad off of the rear wall of the receiver pocket to make it fit. Shouldn't be a big deal for someone that screws with guns a lot. Rifle comes with base, but not rings or scope.
I have 3000 dollars in this rifle as it sits. Losing 1100 dollars on this. PRICE IS FIRM
I will ship, but you'll have to pay transfer and shipping costs to your local FFL/gun shop. I take cash, Venmo, Square, Cashapp (1.75% fee), & PayPal goods & services, but that will require a 3.5% fee.
Trades I will consider are, and if it's not a straight across deal, either one of us could adjust the $ to make it fair:
