Nice!

That's a nice stick, bullet let us know how she shoots.

Nice stick is right...

260 Remington is mean medicine for the MS whitetails...zero recoil

my old man rifle

beautiful gun....green with envy

Thanks guys, I will be shooting it very soon and will post the load work.

Our man Bullet sure makes me weep with some of those rifle pictures he keeps putting in front of me!! That is nice!!

Just got to find time to shoot it.

I like that barrel

I forgot to mention that the barrel is free-floated.

Weighed my 260 on a digital scale and with the scope it weighs exactly 7 pounds 6 oz.

Very nice Mr. Bullet.

Thanks, I am going to the range tomorrow to begin my load work.

I do not have my dies yet for the 260 Rem, it should be in soon with
some bullets I also ordered. I put a few rounds that were sent with the
rifle down range before I went to work this morning. It was 129gr Hornady Spire
Point, H4350, WLR primers and Rem brass. The rifle shows promise. I
will make some real changes when I begin to do my handloading. I will
change primers and of course try other powders and bullets.

Here
is how it shoots with the above load.

Looks good... I have a stock Ruger Compact in 7mm08 that shoots great even out of the 16.5" barrel

Well, I got the VX-II 2-7x33mm and put it on my 260 Rem and my rifle has now a total wieght of 7.486 pounds and this will be great for spot an stalk. The VX-II with my good eyes are more than enough for what I will use this rifle for and after an all day hunt in the mountains I will appreciate the 7.486 pounds of light rifle. Here is how it looks with the scope:

nice looking rig
