- .260 custom remingtion
They don't look much different from short actions in other calibers.
My old 260
Here's mine and my brother's GAP 260's
Unfortunately, I am without classy patio furniture, but here's my LRI .260 build. I just did the scope painting with spray paint. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the color.
Furniture Is Not Required. My Rifle Ain't A 260 Anyway...It's A 243 And Nobody Was The wiser. Will Snap A Pic Of My 260 One Of These Days.

Very nice. Just what I needed to see as I'm doing a build at the moment!!
What does the bare rifle weigh in at please?
Somewhere around 8.5-9lbs. It's right around 12 as pictured (empty). I say "around" because I don't exactly trust my bathroom scale to the .1 of a pound.
Rem-varmint contour barrel cut at 22". LongRifles Inc. did the fluting; 7 flutes, ~.060" deep, and about 16" long. MCS-T stock, PTG bottom metal.

What bullet are you using? And what velocity are you getting out of the 22" barrel?
140 grain Hornady Amax. From back-solving real-world data (400-1200yd) to ballistic solvers, somewhere in the 2715-2750fps range with 42.3gr of H4350 in Remington cases and CCI 200 primers. 2.800" COAL. I ran up to 43.5 grains of H4350 without pressure signs, but want to maximize barrel life and kept it mild. That load is 1/2 MOA vertical or better at every range I've shot past 200yd. (3/4ish at 100yd).
My 260 deer rifle is a virtual copy of your rifle RHutch with the exception of using an FN PBR-XP action. I run pretty much the same load through a 22" Bartlein and get 2740 fps with the 140 Amax. Like a lightning bolt on deer, antelope, and coyotes.
1st 5 rounds....yeah I blew the 1st one!

Glenn I am hopeless with this photobucket thing, by mistake I put my oldest son's 308 build in as well.
The 260 is a,
Bighorn action
KRG W3 stock
Maddco varmint special barrel
Jewel trigger
3-15 Premier hunter tactical
Glenn look for the Premier scope it is on the 260. Gen3 KRG stock I think Glenn, the boys really like these stocks. I've only put 10 rounds through it not allowed to use it to much Rylan my son says I have to get my own..
So I'm building a 223 as we speak.
Regards Toni
PS Glenn PM for some other details mate.

Could you tell me who makes that cheek rest?
It's from XLR Industries. It's for their chassis system. I also bought some round, threaded standoffs (from Zoro tools if I remember correct) ... Cut them to length to use as spacers thru the stock. Works pretty well, but I'm not sure that I wouldn't use something similar to a carriage bolt with a thumb type nut on the opposite side if I had to do it over again. You need two Allen wrenches to remove it this way (It gets aggravating if you clean a lot & have to remove it often, otherwise your probably fine).
I have a Karsten rest with allen screws on a HS stock. Been looking at Manners stocks and I like the setup you have. I think thumb screws might be the way to go too. Thanks for the info
Legendary.
Thanks for the detailed response!!
I'm going without the Bottom metal replacement for now but I have bought it and will see what it comes in at with a light weight Can on the end.
I am kind of a weird sort of guy as I am worried more about how a gun shoots than how photogenic it is. Gun porn is the great but I would prefer to see how it shoots at ranges of interest for the gun of that type.
Just my strange thoughts,
Top: 308 M700 XCR compact tactical with LTR stock (bought out of the classifieds here.
Middle: 260 M700 custom (brux, jewell, LTR stock) - Smith work done by Straight Shot Gunsmithing (Nathan Dagley)
Bottom: 223 M700 LTR

Of the first 20 rounds through the rifle, this is the largest group:
I hope to have SSG do a few more rifles for me....

I know, only three shots.....at 300yds......

Still working on mine, which is a change barrel system, trying to make up my mind if I want to drop it in an AICS which all my other rifles are or try something different. Still have to have the bolt handle done and get a 30moa pic rail for it.
Which bottom metal is that? Is the mag in?
Thanks

It is not a detachable bottom metal it is just an extended swing down floor plate. The rifle started out as my varmint rifle a Remington SPS Varmint in 22-250 and for me I don't like to reload when I am calling coyotes they seem to come in packs of more then what you have in the rifle so I just extended the magazine capacity.
