    260 Remington build completed!!

    No problem, this afternoon I will post a close-up of the muzzle brake. Are you interested in the muzzle brake itself or the incorrect indexing?

    260 Remington build completed!!

    I was hoping to have the weight between 6-7 pounds not including the scope and bipod. I now realize that if I would have used the Remington model seven action instead, I would have hit my mark most likely.

    Carbon six barrels

    I just finished a build using a CarbonSix barrel. I have not fired the rifle yet so I cannot comment on barrel accuracy. But I can tell you that you should not allow them (CarbonSix gunsmiths) to machine your action or install your barrel. Long story short, I have to send my barreled action to...

    260 Remington build completed!!

    CarbonSix's barrels are competitively priced. As far as the machining/gunsmithing work...I am not happy. The muzzle brake is not timed properly and is slightly off center. So I have to send the barreled action to Kampfeld Customs to have the muzzle brake timing corrected. Also, CarbonSix was...

    Thanks for the input, I am not sending the trigger or bolt as the gunsmith does not need it. Both ends of the tube are covered with plastic caps.
