New 260 Rem..

[moochy28]

Well after a long wait my new rifle is done and it is a shooter.I only had the Leupold 4.5-14x50mm and it had the ARMS rings already on, so I figured it will work temporarilly till I sell and get new scope.Here are the specs..
Surgeon 591 Action
Mike Rock 260 cal #7 fluted 22" and threaded for supp.
Thomas Manners T5A stock
Jewell trigger set at a crisp 2.5#
Atlas Bipod
Now I want to give a huge thanks to Jim Ruiz and Bob at Predator Custom in Knoxville,Tn. as they knocked this out in alittle over a week for me..

Re: New 260 Rem..

What bolt knob is that, that thing is bad ass

 

[cav1993]

Re: New 260 Rem..

looks like new surgeon bolt knob and man that rig is nice!

 

[moochy28]

Re: New 260 Rem..

The knob is Surgeon..And have not checked the velocity as of yet..Have some older 155 SMK's to shoot up..

Here are the test loads,mind you they were shot in a torrential down pour..

Re: New 260 Rem..

When did sierra make a 155 grain MK in 6.5?

 

[moochy28]

Re: New 260 Rem..

The 155SMK's were discontinued years ago.Thinking like early 2000

 

[42769vette]

Re: New 260 Rem..

i didn't know they ever made them that heavy. anyone remember the bc of the 155gr smk?

 

[AF_TT]

Re: New 260 Rem..

Very nice!
How are you liking the ballistics at longer range?

Re: New 260 Rem..

sexy rifle indeed, the T5A stock started to slowly grow on me, the more I look at it, the more I likey!!

 

[moochy28]

Re: New 260 Rem..

The BC of the 155 is .570 at 2800fps originally made for the 6.5x284..And they were only sold in 500 rd boxes around 2000-2003..Lots of people tought they were to slow so they went back to the 142's..
I have not got to take this past 100yds as of yet..So soon as I do i will let you know.Might have to wait till Labor Day weekend for that to happen, will be able to go to 1000yds when I go home to NEBRASKA..

If you are in TN, why can't you go and shoot at Oak Ridge?

Re: New 260 Rem..

I'm from Knoxville, does predator custom have a shop there or do they just take orders?

Also, fngmike, can you elaborate more on the range in oak ridge? How far does it go out to?

 

[SkyScrapin]

Re: New 260 Rem..

Your making me jealous with this rig. The barrel is threaded... can it or break it? both?

yes Predator custom shop does have a shop and can build from scratch..
Oak Ridge is just right down the road from me, and yes you can get out to 1000yds there..I am waiting to become a member as Idont see paying the dues for 4 months and then repaying in January.
