Hi Guys,
I really need some opinions.
I am looking to build my first rifle from parts. I have only had a bone stock remington action. Remington 700P. But had it in a nice AI stock which was a 308cal. I sold this. It was a right hand rifle and I am a lefty.
My goal. To be able to shoot long range. Up to 1K. I want to get involved with shooting at the steel matches,etc at ncpprc club out in Sacramento, ca.
The cal I have decided to go with is the 260.
Who do you guys recommend I buy the barrel from.
What barrel length has worked for you guys shooting a 260????
I cant afford right now to buy a custom action. I dont think I have seen one under $850
So what I was thinking about doing was buying a left hand remington 308 sps varmint for roughly 500 and have the barrel swapped. What do you guys think of going this route.
The bottom metal I am leaning towards will be Rad Tac Latch bottom metal.
The stock will be a mcmillan A5 non adjustable in gap camo.
I already have the scope,base and rings. Its a nightforce 3.5x15 mil/mil with speed turrets,mlr. Base is a badger 20moa base. Rings are burris xtreme rings-low.
I cant thiink of anything else right now. I am sure I am forgtetting something.
