Re: New .260

Well your missing a break on the end:). That's a solid looking rifle for sure. I really like that bolt handle. I haven't see that funnel shape like that before. The .260 head in the bottom is a nice touch. What bullets are you planning to shoot?
 
Re: New .260

The knob is a copy of the DD Ross knob I have on my other rifle. I debated a brake, but figured I could always add one later. I plan on running the 139 Scenar

Get some weed & feed on that lawn and start treating the clover before it takes over and chokes the grass out.

Nice rifle BTW

Re: New .260

Started ordering parts for my 260 build as I really think that is the best all around caliber for the tactical competitor. Nice build now lets see some groups!
 
Re: New .260

Nice looking rifle. Sniper Fill on the A5? What does it weigh as shown? What discipline are you planning to shoot? Tactical comps, F-class or just hammering steel on your own?

Looking forward to the range report. 260 is a great cartridge.
 
Re: New .260

the beauty of a .260 is that it is a great long range round that doesn't need a brake. Congrats on a beautifull built.
 
Re: New .260

Its a sniper fill, dont have a weight but will get one tonight on the ultra-accurate bathroom scale. I plan on banging steel and punching targets but may try my hand at a few tactical matches around
 
Re: New .260

Really like that bolt knob, ive been thinking of changing my badger out for something longer & thinner. Beautiful rig bro
