Got my 260 put together.

Recommended Posts

My stock finally arrived yesterday and I got busy putting it together. It started life as a 7mm mag that I bought on Gunbroker for 200 bucks and shot 3" groups at 50 yards. Oh well, I bought it for a donor anyway. Hope to wack a white tail with it come November.

 

Savage 110 action
PT&G bolt head
Criterion 24" varmint contour 1-8 twist
NSS precision barrel nut and .250 lug
McMillan A3 in coffee camo
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50
EGW practical rings and 20 MOA base
YHM 7.62 QD Ti Phantom

 

A big thanks to Tim at N.O.S. and Jim at Northland. Both super nice guys and a pleasure to do business with.

Took it to the range for a shakedown. Starting load of 39gr of IMR 4350, 140gr SMK's in necked up 243 brass. After I got it sighted in I did a 6 shot group(lost track) and a 3 shot group with the suppressor.


Six shot......yanked the 4th one.

I got the bolt handle on ebay.

 

It took 4 months to get the barrel.

Great looking gun and it looks like it shoots nicely too! Any more shooting progress or range time? How do you like the suppressor?

I love the suppressor. I have done some load development with 2 powders and settled on 41 grains of H4350 under 140 Matchkings at .002" off the lands and WLR primers. I am now working on my hunting load with 120 grain Barnes TTSX's. I found a promising powder charge and will be back at the range tomorrow to test different seating depths. I need to get it dialed in and confirm drops before my whitetail hunt in November.

 

What does it weigh? Nice build.

 

It weighs in @ 12lbs 8oz without the suppressor and 13lbs 7oz with it.
