WILDCAT - build on a new old stock  crown grade Husqvarna 98  barreled action , originally, I imported to Canada from Finland as an unfired Husqvarna in .243 Winchester.    Because Husqvarna made thick chamber barrels of great accuracy, I had decided to create a wildcat, with a custom Riemer made to rechamber the barrel to basically a 257 Weatherby mag necked down to .243 (240 wby) Hence .240  x 257 wby mag. WILDCAT. This is a 9+ / 10 condition gun or better. 

Rifle is in a  Butler Creek stock, free floating bbl,  KDF muzzle brake, with Recoil comparable to a .243 or softer. Basically can lay gun down softly without a significant shoulder rest and pull the trigger. Very light recoil. 

The rifle has not fired more than 200 rounds. I listed it a year or two ago, then sold it but bought it back thinking I might use it. However, now I'm 78 and just too old to play anymore. The scope is a Swarovski 4 to 16xx 50 Habicht which was new old stock when installed.  Custom RCBS Dies included and 30 once / twice fired brass. Numerous bullets also can be arranged for more $$. Brass is easily made simply with 257 wby brass ran through the neck sizer to 240x257 wby RCBS custom dies. I also have 2 or 3 boxes of new .257 Wby brass available for extra $$. The gun likes 95 grain Nosler's. Spits them out very fast and  very accurate. Secret load can go with the sale when completed. The Riemer has gone missing so not part of the deal..   Not interested in trades nor offers. PAL is a must. Shipping and insurance at buyers cost. Not interested in face to face deals unless we know each other.  Not interested in separating the package. Thanks for looking. 

Price is $3500.00 emt preferred .
