I purchased this as a brand-new set up about 10 years ago and have found the .243 & 30-06 a perfect combination for mid to large-size game.
I would estimate about 150 rounds have been through it over this time being predominantly used as a hunting rifle, with other rifles in my collection used for range / target shooting.
Condition is very good to excellent as I have always used a gun-bra and barrel tape in the field as pictured; and if you do the same it will still look immaculate in another 10 years.
Only selling due to NSW category change to straight pull actions.
A new RX helix explorer will set you back around $4000 for a single barrel rifle alone, add $1000 for the additional barrel, $2000 for the Z5 scope and we are looking at a $7000.00 set up for close to half price.
Not inclusive of postage to your state.
