Also, what is the thread on the muzzle and moderator? The moderator might go separately and make the rifle easier to sell.

You’re specifying lightweight bullets on what with a heavy 26” barrel looks like a target rifle, is this due to the twist rate or experience?
I’d have thought a modern heavy rifle like that had a 1:9 or 1:7 twist or faster and would suit heavier target ammo?
In experience it likes the lighter bullet, when I bought it the sales info said 1:12 twist...and the RFD supplied 55gr ammo.
You need two .223 slots as the mod is stamped .223 In Essex mods are listed by calibre.
The rifle is 6 years old so were they made with 1:9 1:7 twists back then?
Ref the muzzle/mod thread, No idea they were bought as a package already fitted. It's bigger than 1/2" UNF anyway.

Should happily stabilise up to 62gn odd then.
Perhaps split the moderator?
Good luck with the sale, it’s a fine rifle.

Thank you.
Only issue with not including the mod is being stuck with it not able to sell or use on anything else.

Depends if you sell it first. :)
Put a price on it and stick it on separately, if it sells you can reduce the rifle price, if not you can try and sell it with the rifle.
