Excellent rifle. The LRA bipod is the best most stable bipod I've ever seen in action. The inventor(and hes put on a few lbs since inventing, sorry dave) stood on the front of his DTA to prove to me how strong his bipod was. I was floored. He bounced on his DTA supported by the bipod and neither budged.

Very nice looking rifle! Should make the owner very happy!

What contour is that barrel?

 

[Mgordon]

The customer supplied the barrel but I believe it was a M40 Contour.

Beautiful rifle. Title says 260 Lapua but it looks like the barrel is stamped 260 Remington. What's the difference?

It's a 260 Rem cut with a reamer setup for Lapua brass, the Lapua 260 brass has a thicker neck than the other 260 brass on the market and the neck diameter was subsequently opened up when it hit the market a couple years ago.

What does time curvature to the bore mean? I've never heard of that.

The bore curves slightly inside the barrel. He times it to the action.

Mark times the curvature of the bore at 12 o'clock so the barrels not shooting left or right but straight, if that makes since.

That's a very nice rifle!

Interesting. I knew the bore was never perfectly centered, but never heard of timing it. Guess that's why I just shootem and don't build them. Thanks

Here is a video which explains the curvature of the bore and why we do it.

Can you paint over melonite? Also whats the time it takes for you to true and send back an action?

LRA Bipod. Mark sells them when he can get ahold of them! They are nice, I got one from him for my big 50cal subsonic build.
