Hello everyone, this is my first thread on Sniper's Hide. I read this forum for at least 5 years and I found a lot of good infos. Thank you.
I live in Canada and practice rifle shooting for 7 years. I shoot on a friend's property and I can shoot until 1500 yards. I own a PSS .308 20" barrell with NSX 2.5-10X32, a Sako TRG .308 with Zeiss 6-24x56, and this is my new, a Collier 260.
I would like to say thank you to Joe Collier for this superb rifle. He respect my choices of A to Z. Fast and very easy to deal with him, even if I don't speak english very well. The fit and finish is perfect. It's reliable in canadian weather and always shoot in the same spot at 100 yards from coldest to hotest temp, what is the most important to me. I can't say that about other rifles that I had. I'm sure this rifle is able of .25 moa accuracy in right hands with right load.
Specs:
Marksman action "defiance machine Devian"
Chambered in 260 rem
Krieger SS 24" 5-R 8 twist MTU
Muzzle brake A.P.A. little bastar
Jewll trigger
Surgeon bottom metal AICS mag
Manners T2A molded in OD with adj butt spacer
All metal cerakoted in black graphite
Harris bipod
T.I.S. sling and coretac bean bag
NSX 5.5-22X56 MOAR
Nightforce high rings with top ring bubble level
Rifle only 13lbs 2 oz with scope and bipod 16lbs 10oz
Current load:
Lapua brass shoulder bump -0.001 with redding body die and neck size with Lee collet die.
Scenar 139 seating with redding competition die
43.0g H4350 with Sartorius scale
BR-2
2.810 -.025 off the land
MV 2800 and 29 moa for 1000 yards at DA 2000
Shot an average of 5 shots group in .4 moa and very low ES
Last rage trip I tested 20 rounds of
45.0g H4831sc
Scenar 139
Br-2
2.810 -.025 off
Very accurate load at 100 best 5 shots group .20 moa and the worst .36 moa. I think it's slower than my H4350 load. I need to test this at 1000 when I have a chance.
This is my evaluation after 250 rounds:
- The stock is nice, easy to work on elevation with a bean bag ans the molded finish seem very sturdy.
- The action is super smooth. The only down side is that it eject the brass so hard that bump the neck on the side of the action port. I resolved this with a Lee collet die.
- The barrel: High quality, no copper fouling, easy to clean. I like the 24" and MTU contour, good speed and stable in prone position.
- The muzzle brake work great on recoil and don't push the dust on shooter and scope, nice and compact.
- The scope: Track perfect, sturdy and clear, MOAR reticle is super for ranging my 20" plate when my rangefinder cannot.
