Short Action Customs .260

[Dallas4rceMarine]

I had Mark build me a .260 Rem and man did he deliver. I asked for a longer chamber allowing me to seat to mag length and a few other things, here are the specs of the rifle.

Bartlein #13 (RemVarm) contour finished at 26"
(Chamber is 2.28, I load a BTO of 2.26 having a .020 jump)
SAC Alpha 11 action with fluted bolt (integral rail and lug)
Manners T6-A stock, Badger EFR installed
Scope used was a Vortex Razor 5-20 with EBR-2, I have recently switched over to a Kahles 6-24 MSR
Harris 6-9 BRM-S bipods
SureFire MINI-762 suppressor

Reload info:
BTO 2.26"
Lapua brass
Federal 210M primers
Berger 140gr Hybrids (pointed by Copper Creek)
43gr of H4350
Chrono'd at 2,880fps

this rifles sub 1/2 MOA all the way to 1,200 yds, below is two groups I shot at 1,200 yds in Waxahachie, TX on two different days.

this group is currently the ETTS range record with a 5" vertical and a 2.5" horizontal spread.

here is a group I shot a few days later and it is just over 6" (i needed the $20 to measure)

If you haven't heard of Mark at Short Action Customs, you have now!

Great shooting and super sexy rifle, congrats!

Mark's metalwork is second to none.

He builds an incredibly accurate rifle. Not only that, they shoot basically ANY ammo well.

Congrats.

Nice shooting! Should have my SAC 6.5 SAUM in the next few weeks.

Mark did some small work for me (he was recommended by Zak at Thunderbeast). His work was first rate, with incredible attention to detail.
Very nice shooting and nice rig.

This group was done with my surgeon 6.5 creedmoor at 1k. <a href="http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/connelyXtreme/media/20140309_132351_zpsv2dzlrlj.jpeg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a574/connelyXtreme/20140309_132351_zpsv2dzlrlj.jpeg" border="0" alt="surgeon 6.5 creed photo 20140309_132351_zpsv2dzlrlj.jpeg"/></a>

BravoSierra:

address is 620 Greathouse Rd. gps will be a little off but you can see the range from the road and will know where to turn.
