FINALLY got around to shooing my .260 Remington!
This build was done up by Terry at Black Art Rifle Company. I had a rifle built up around 2 years ago, trued Rem 700 with a Shilen SS select match barrel, 3lb tuned trigger, 20moa badger rail, badger rings. Initially the rifle sat in a different McMillan A3 stock, I ended up never shooting the rifle and re-purposed the stock for another project. The Barreled receiver sat in my gun safe for almost a year...I then sold it to another CGN member who also planned on making a build out of it...but he never got around to shooting it either!! I had always felt sort of bad for selling the rifle and saw that it came back on EE for sale. I jumped on the opportunity and got it back. I then ordered another McMillan A3 stock. It finally came in and I sent the B/R to ATRS to bed the rifle, install a new DBM bottom metal. They did an absolutely wonderful job and I just received the rifle today and off to the range. Thank goodness I had loaded up some H4350 in lapua brass with 139gr Lapua scenars...39.0 - 42.0gr.
I was able to get to the range to test the rounds. So far I have a really good starting point of H4350 @ 40.5gr w/ a COAL of 2.800". I have to play with some 0.2gr increments and change seating depth now.
Topped the rig with a NF NXS 5.5-22x56mm w MOAR reticle.
