I've been right where you are contemplating using my rem700 .223 action on a 260 buildup. Came out to a difference of 200-400 bucks when all said and done when comparing against a custom action build. I went with a defiance deviant action from defiance directly, bartlein barrel from bugholes...
I've been running their new element chassis on my 260 for a few months now and VERY happy on made the change. Great company that stands behind their product.
I haven't followed upon this yet but I thought I received some sort of new blerb from paypal this past week about an option that releases funds once the product arrives... Might be worth digging into.

Talked to Salient yesterday (best hold music I have ever heard in my life by the way: "America, fuck yeah").
They said they are currently at 14-16 week build times. I would suggest sending your own glock or M&P rather than have them buy as it will save you about $200 and change. That covers...
I've had them both in my 260 match gun over the past year. If I had to pick I would stick with the Calvin. Breaks very clean (mine is set at 1.75lbs). Took a little getting used to the rounded feel of the trigger vs the 510 flat finger pad area but other than that one issue I'm very pleased to...
2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA
Good luck everyone! Wish I could shoot this one but duty calls on the home front. I attempted to talk the wife into letting the dog watch the 2 year old for the weekend but I was surprisingly vetoed.
Shoot straight!

So far so good with mine. Held up great at the Camp Patriot Steel Challenge a few weeks back in the rain & then dust on day two. Breaks very clean but not too light where I risk sending the round when I am not intending too.

I have ran the numbers on this repeatedly and chose to buy a custom action.. By the time you spend the money on the donor (or pillage a current rifle in your collection); spend the time and money on gunsmithing; buy the upgraded bolt parts; etc you will be VERY close to buying an action with an...
Stick with the 260 since you're already setup for reloading. Go to a 24-26" barrel and you will easily see 2830-2850+ fps without pressure issues.

All I can say is wow... just wow.
What a great match put together by Carl and his team. For my first time shooting this match with a first time partner, I am extremely pleased with all aspects of this event.
The trek from Portland with our crew was a blast; meeting a bunch of new people...
I figured I would share an actual my thoughts after running the trigger in a match this weekend in drastically different weather conditions during the match. A bit of background. I am running a defiance deviant action chambers in 260 rem and set my Calvin Elite to a cool 1.75lb pull weight...
Any Using the NEW Timney Calvin Elite Trigger?
Got mine setup in my defiance deviant last night. Sent some rounds down range this morning during a practice session and the trigger felt great. Have it adjusted to 1.75lbs.
Now I can send my 510 back to Timney to see why the hell I can't get...
Rumble's lowest fighting weight it the UFC was 170 (welterweight) and he missed weight 2 or 3 times before getting is walking papers a few years ago. I even believe he then missed weight at 185 (middleweight). Now he is fighting at light heavyweight (205) and is still a monster for the...
Mine is arriving today or tomorrow. My buddy has been running it in his defiance deviant with a few matches down so far with no problems. Seems to really like it.
