So last year I had a buddy of mine Tom Ryder over at SPR Industries in Seattle build me a .260 Remington. I told him I wanted a heavy MTU contour with a barrel 26 inches or longer and set up to be run with a SureFire can. What I got was a very well built Remington bolt gun that the fit and finish was amazing and can shoot also.
The weather outside for the two different days I shot this gun was in the mid 70’s to low 80’s with a lot of mirage. For how much mirage I was getting I was amazed at the groups I was shooting. My best group was .587 and there were at least 4 more groups under ¾ MOA. I fired a 10 shot group with 5 rounds suppressed took off the can put it back on and shot 5 more rounds through it that measured just 1.071. I know this gun will shoot a lot better because I was shooting a lot of small ¼ MOA groups and then with the mirage I would throw a shot or two.
I am hoping to get back out in the next couple of weeks and shoot in the morning so the mirage isn’t an issue and see if I can’t make those groups shrink by a lot more. Below are some of my groups that I shot with this gun and the specs.
Remington 700 trued and blueprinted
Krieger MTU contour 1 in 8.5 twist finished at 27inches with a SureFire MB68K muzzle brake.
Factory trigger set at 2.5lbs
Larue 20MOA base and SPR mount with a Nightforce NXS 5-22 with zero stop.
