Looking at getting an Armalite in .260

[dbasian1977]

Hey guys I checked one of these out at the shot show last year and I am thinking about picking one up there this year. What are thoughts about them?


AR-10T RIFLE .260 REMINGTON SS NM TRIGGER, BLACK



Item Number: 10TBNF260


It's the rifle you want, in the caliber you asked for. The new ArmaLite AR-10(T) chambered in .260 Remington. This is ArmaLite's legendary "T" to a "tee". Its 22" stainless steel Match barrel and National Match trigger perfectly complement the flat shooting, ultra-accurate .260 Remington Cartridge.

The AR-10(T) in .260 is a hunter's dream from game as small as bobcats and as big as brown bears. Marksmen will value its dead on accuracy in match shooting. The .260 is especially suited to younger or novice shooters because of its low recoil. ArmaLite's customers have been asking for this rifle. Now, it's here for 2010-2011 hunting season.

I could be mistaken but I believe GAP makes an AR-10 chambered in .260 and if so, consider going that route.


***EDIT***

Yep, here it is!

Re: Looking at getting an Armalite in .260

I've been shooting an AR10T chambered in .308 for about 12 yrs now and I have always been completely satisfied with the rifle. After 2700+ rnds it is still a sub moa rifle without really tryin and now at almost 50 yrs old, I'm not that great. I think the factory "T" is one of the best buys out there. All that said, when this barrel starts to go, my plan is to send it to GAP for a .260 barrel and "what not".

The Armalite "T"s are very accurate out of the box, if you get better than it is, I'm sure GAP will be glad to upgrade it for you. No matter which way you decide to go, you're gonna have some fun.

okie
