I recently completed a build with my son for his upcoming deer hunt. We used an older model (pre accutrigger) Savage model 10 Tactical chambered in Rem .260 with a 24 inch bull barrel that I bought from one of our members. It already had a nice trigger job done to it. We painted it with a dark grey and then put a light layer of burnt bronze on top in a squared pattern. I have never tried a tactical handle before, so this is a new one for us. The chassis is made by MDT and accepts AICS mags. We also used a stock form MDT that is fully adjustable. Together they only weigh about 3 pounds. Its mounted on the tripod using our LOC JAW mount. We loaded up some Berger 130 grain Hybrids and will give them a try Sunday morning. We are both happy they way it turned out and cant wait to use it on his December hunt. David

Chassis build finished .260
azhuntnut replied to azhuntnut's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I took my son out to get him some time behind the gun. His first shot was high, but then he started to settle down. This is his first seven shots with the rifle. The cluster on the left is four shots. I just cant believe how well the rifle shoots. Its just as accurate as my full custom that I spent a lot more on. This was 100 yards. David -
Chassis build finished .260

Finally got the chance to shoot it today. My first handload I tried was touching. I used 42 grains of H4350 topped with Berger 130g Hybrids. Primers are BR2 and coal is 2.856. Im still gonna try some RL26 just to see how it shoots. David -
Found some RL26 and plan on loading in my .260. Wouldnt mind hearing if anyone else has been using this combo. Im gonna use 130 Hybrids. David

I know we have some members that own there own machine shop. Im looking for one in west or north valley with a mill that can do a quick job for me on an aluminum chassis on short notice. David

Anybody try RL26 in .260
azhuntnut replied to azhuntnut's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I called Berger and they told me 45g got them 2702 and max load was 48.8g with 2970 fps. They were all loaded 2.80 and the max load was at 106% full. My max coal is 2.90 so I shouldnt have an issue with a compressed load. I have some 130 Berger and 143 Hornady ELD-Xs. David -
I want to trade a pound of H4350 for a pound of RL26 I also have some Hornady 143 ELD-X that I would trade for Berger 130 Hybrid Tactical. David

I have some lumber that was left over from a deck that was built onto my cabin. I dont have the exact count on the sizes, but I know there are (9) 2x8s that I think are 16ft. A bunch of 2x4s in several lengths, and 2x6s. There are at least 40 precut 2x2s for deck railing, and 2x2s that arent cut. Look at the pics and you can get an idea of whats there. Some of the wood has been water treated. All the wood is located in Happy Jack in my garage. Im open to offers, but you would need to pick it up within the week. David

Thank you both and enjoy. David

I have two beds I am selling from my cabin in Happy Jack. SOLD One is a queen that I am assuming is pine. The posts are at least 8 inches and very heavy. $400 obo SOLD The second is a king bed that includes two night stands and a 6 drawer dresser that all match. $550 obo Im open to offers and I will be up there Friday and Saturday if you have a place up there and want to look at it. I will be bringing them home with me. I will knock more off the price if you come and take it apart and move it on your own. I dont have any other pics at this time but all are in good condition.

Loading up a .260 for my son and was considering loading the 129s. I also have some 143 eld-xs. Its a 1/8 twist. Im mounting the rifle into a chassis so I will have plenty of length to load them long in the mags I have. Has anybody hunted with this bullet weight out of this similar caliber? I have considered buying a box of the loaded superperformance ammo just to see how they shoot. David

I think its the vagrants that are living around the forest. I have been seeing more and more each year hunting around the Flagstaff area and they are there for weeks at a time and the forest service does nothing about it unless you call them. They have ruined an area that used to be amazing for elk, now in the last two weekends I havent heard or seen an elk in the area. My trailer is out in the forest now, but I dont leave anything of value in it while im gone. Heck, I will probably get a ticket for leaving it out, while they pass 10 vagrant camps on the way in.
