Limited info at the moment, but my sister / brother-in-law have a "Custom 7mm STW rifle" they are looking to sell. They are in NC, so obviously FFL transfer required.

Waiting for more details and pics from them, but what I do know is that it has a Leupold Vary-X 6.5x20-50MM scope, stock with inlays / checkering, SS barrel.

Anybody have any accurate price info on this?

Any idea who built it? It looks like a Parker Hale stock with a Remington action and XX barrel. The Shooting Times Westerner is a great cartridge, but it might be hard to find someone interested in it in the southeast. Given the caliber and stock, (super ballparking it here) I'd be super happy with $1200-$1300 if the Luey goes with it.. Custom guns are a tough sell man.

Yes, the scope goes with it, still have not heard back on the additional details I asked for, will update here when I do. I get the impression that they feel it's double that price range; I already told them that Gunjoker may be their best bet for that caliber, but I'd ask for opinions.

I'd sell the scope separately from the rifle.

Some new pics just came in, anybody have a clue what this is? (There is no manufacturer model seen, just a stamp and Winchester). More to follow momentarily.

Custom guns are all over the place and hard to sell in many calibers. Looking at the components my estimate would be no more than $750 without the glass.

Problem is, we can't even identify what it is so far (other than a Winchester action and a Leuy scope)

I am pricing the barreled action at $300 and the stock at $150. The rest is smith build money.

Being able to build decent ar for $525 or build one for $700 puts a hurting on everything else unless someone is specifically looking for it.
