KEITH STEGALL CUSTOM MAUSER 280 ACKLEY IMPROVED

A highly refined American custom sporting rifle — Keith Stegall Custom Mauser chambered in .280 Ackley Improved, engraved by the renowned Arnold Griebel.

Built on a classic Mauser action and executed with Stegall’s understated elegance, this rifle blends traditional craftsmanship with practical performance. The metal is tastefully engraved by Griebel, whose work is well respected for its clean scroll and balanced coverage — enhancing the rifle without overwhelming its sporting character.

The rifle features a 22" barrel topped with a Leupold M8 4X scope, offering a simple, reliable optic pairing well suited to the flat-shooting .280 Ackley Improved chambering. Details include a jeweled bolt, checkered metal grip cap, and a traditional Neidner-style butt plate, reinforcing the rifle’s classic aesthetic.

Weighing 8 lbs 8 oz with a 13½" length of pull, it carries with solid field balance — substantial enough for steady shooting, yet still practical for mountain or open-country hunting.

Condition remains excellent, presenting cleanly with no notable issues.

A well-executed Stegall custom in a highly practical chambering, elevated by Arnold Griebel’s engraving — a rifle that blends functional hunting capability with collector-level craftsmanship.
