Finally saved enough coin to do my 260 Rem build. This is mainly my hunting rig for coyote, woodchucks, and a bit of long range shooting from time to time. so far this is the plan

Stiller Tac 30
Bartlein #3 1-8 twist (setup for 26" finish but might go 24'')
Manners MCS EH-3
PTG bolt in BDL DBM
Rifle Basix Trigger

Have a couple questions, I can get the Manners with the 9/16 pillars or with there aluminum chassis for BDL Bottom metal, Will the Ptg bolt in Dbm work with the aluminum chassis and Tac 30 action? and any suggestion for a trigger other then the Basix?
 
If you plan to go with a pillar bedded stock from Manners there is no need to go with the dropin BDL DBM, just let Manners know what DBM you plan to run and they will inlet accordingly. If you go with their Mini Chassis there is no need to buy a DBM as it built in to their system and part of the design. Manner also now makes a BDL Mini Chassis setup for guys wishing to run a BDL floor plate setup, but if you plan to run mags there is no need to go that route.

As a far as triggers go, I prefer a Timney or a Jewel over the Basix, but that is only my opinion.
