Well let's just say that Jered Joplin knows how to build one. I showed up at his shop with a box of parts and pieces. I ended up pretty much buying everything off of Snipers Hide. It took me about three weeks to find all the parts to build what I thought was the perfect match gun. Anyway, the build list goes like this.

Defiance action w/ fluted bolt, AW cut, and .30 pinned recoil lug also pinned 20moa base
Broughton 7.2 1in 8 twist cut to 23 1/4"
McMillan A-5 adj 75%od 25%blk
Huber 2 stage trigger set at 2lbs
APA bottom metal
AW 10rd mags
APA lil bastard brake
260 Lapua brass
Berger 140vld

He bedded the action and bottom metal and this thing fits like a glove. He had it back to me in 3 weeks. It just doesn't get any better than that. This thing shoots lights out no matter what I do.
I haven't taken the time until now to brag on it.

I was thinking the same thing.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Pics or it didn't happen.

I think it's a joke and every time someone replies it bumps the thread and we all check for pics again. Lol
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Your a lucky man, wish I had one.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

I know somebody is gonna give me some shit about the "Bling". Well, I recieved the action and looked at the "Bling" and said to my self "I never had any Bling before". I thought I bet nobody else has a Blinged out tactical rifle and then that was it. I think it pained Jered to let it out of his shop without something on it.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Are you gonna hook me up with some of your shiny rings. That way I can be represent-n.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Being that this is my partners rig, I can vouch for how accurate this thing is. Its like a lazer. Only bad part about about it, is the little bastard brake. As a partner I always have to carry some advil.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Beautiful Rifle/Pictures! Gotta Love those .260s! Mine too treats me Very Well!
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

Very nice. Jered does do some fine work.
 
Re: My APA 260 match rifle

That looks great and sounds like it shoots the same. I had some APA work done on a couple small projects, both were first class.
