I had Mark build me a .260 Rem and man did he deliver. I asked for a longer chamber allowing me to seat to mag length and a few other things, here are the specs of the rifle.
Bartlein #13 (RemVarm) contour finished at 26"
(Chamber is 2.28, I load a BTO of 2.26 having a .020 jump)
SAC Alpha 11 action with fluted bolt (integral rail and lug)
Manners T6-A stock, Badger EFR installed
Scope used was a Vortex Razor 5-20 with EBR-2, I have recently switched over to a Kahles 6-24 MSR
Harris 6-9 BRM-S bipods
SureFire MINI-762 suppressor
Reload info:
BTO 2.26"
Lapua brass
Federal 210M primers
Berger 140gr Hybrids (pointed by Copper Creek)
43gr of H4350
Chrono'd at 2,880fps
this rifles sub 1/2 MOA all the way to 1,200 yds, below is two groups I shot at 1,200 yds in Waxahachie, TX on two different days.
this group is currently the ETTS range record with a 5" vertical and a 2.5" horizontal spread.
here is a group I shot a few days later and it is just over 6" (i needed the $20 to measure)
If you haven't heard of Mark at Short Action Customs, you have now!
