I was in pretty much the same boat as you. I went with Marc at Spartan Precision Rifles, and couldn't be happier. Awesome workmanship and great communications. I went with a R700 action and had Marc do the full workup on it, sporting a 24" Bartlein tube in .260 Rem in a McMillan A5. Vortex...

Here is the finished .260 Marc was building for me: And the first 5 shot group with Southwest Ammo 139 Scenars after zeroing the scope: I couldn't be happier with the rifle. After some load development I think this thing is going to be absolutely ridiculous accurate. I am definitely...

Compared to many other members on this board who are real deal military snipers, I am only a lowly LE sniper. However something that keeps my position from being given away is an advantage in my book. So when you say it is only to "look cool", and that their is not one person here that needs...

No idea on speeds. I just used them to get zeroed and do initial barrel break in. I'll run some for speed once I get my handloads worked up and chrono them at the same time.

I just got my rifle from Marc at Spartan Rifles. I'm extremely pleased with the rifle and my dealings with Marc. He is a perfectionist, and his works shows it. If anyone is looking for a gunsmith, I would certainly give Marc a look. Also many thanks to Mr. Ducos (stockdoc). He did a great...

My new Spartan Precision build:

Inland M2 Carbine. It comes out every now and then, but she leads a relatively pampered life:

A few decent options are 6.5CM and .260Rem. Also people are having good luck with the 6mm and 7mm offerings.

Not saying it is necessary, but why is $11k silly? Also the rifle wasn't $11k. The rifle package including high end optic and mount was that amount. I've paid over $20k apiece for a couple of my MGs and paid cash. It might be silly in some peoples eyes, but shooting and motorcycles are my...

How could this go wrong? In!

One will be going on a Barnard action .260Rem and another will be going on a Spartan Precision built .260Rem that I am expecting in from Marc next week.

I ordered one direct via the LE program at the beginning of May. I received it on 08/25.

Your dealer is either full of shit and he is telling you this because he can't get his hands on them, or someone is telling him bad info. I received one direct from Vortex, and my gunsmith has another in hand that is going on my new build. They are definitely being shipped, but there is a...

Here ya go:

I had one of mine show up today. This thing is pretty damn sweet.
