I hope Pete will not mind me putting this here rather than the Classified section...

I'm off to Dubai and offloading a rifle or two. First to go is a custom left handed Medwell & Perrett in 6.5x55. The rifle has a 22 inch barrel, 1:9 twist, and weighs 9lb 9oz. This rifle will do sub-half MOA. Timney trigger and M&Ps own pushfeed action. The floorplate magazine will take 5 rounds.

The furniture has a buffalo tip fore end and a blued steel gripcap. Nice figuring.
I had this rifle made for me in 1998.

The scope is a Swarovski 3-9x36A. Made in Austria. Type 4A reticle

I can have it shipped to a dealer worldwide, at your expense. It will go to the highest bidder and I would not take less than £3000 (US$6000) for it.

I'l attempt to put up a couple of pictures. Email me if you want to see more.

Richard, that is sweet, and a good price. I have heard of M&P rifles making twice that.

Glad I am not a lefty.


Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....

I agree with Brian, that rifle would have put me in a tough spot.

Best regards Chris

I've seen Richard shoot this rifle - a true one hole 3 shot group with 125gr partitions.

Richard,

You will regret selling this rifle!

What a beautiful rifle!

Can you tell us a bit about Medwell & Perrett, I am sadly ignorant about this gunmaker.

WOW!

I'm a lefty and it's a good thing it's on the other side of the pond.

You boys are making me blush.

Sadly the rifle and I parted company this afternoon. It has gone off to the autioneers where it will be included in their September sale. There is also a nice LH Sako 22-250, C3 Browning, 20 ga Silver Pigeon, all set up for a left hander.

I'm now left with a 7x64 to tackle my squirrel problem...

I cannot believe it...

Holt have catalogued this rifle in their 25 Sept Auction with a reserve of GBP1200-1600. Idiots.

Are you saying thats not the agree reserve?

Its a pity they left the iron work on the barrel.
I could well have been tempted into bidding on your rifle if the lines had been cleaner.

Enjoy Dubai, there's some serious money to be made there.
