Thanks!...Its a Rem varmint contour, 1:8 Krieger. Installed a Jewell trigger (set at 2lbs), when I had the barrel chopped last Sunday. I haven't shot it yet, but the rifle was a shooter with the 24" and old style Rem trigger tuned to 2.5lbs.
I've had the rifle for close to a year, and its my first custom/precision rifle. I wanted an all purpose rifle I could learn on...something to punch paper, hunt, maybe shoot a match. Those are the reasons I went 260 and a 24" barrel, but I love the short, compact rifles. For the ranges I have access to shoot, I didn't think I'd be giving up much by shortening it, so I did it. Hope to shoot it this weekend.
Wanted to add...rifle weighs 12lbs unloaded. It's well balanced, and seemed really light until I put the boat anchor back on top..Lol.. but I really like the NF. Ideally, I'd like it at 10lbs, but I'd have to go with a lighter stock. Going to stay as is for a while, though.
If you guys can, post the weight of your set up.
