[QUOTE="twh731, post: 950330, member: 53716"] Thanks coyote. Backwards! I get it! Hah! It's the first rifle I ordered new for myself way back when. I have since learned the art of using right hand tools. I have a standard .308 family GO gauge. So you're saying that you just screwed your barrel in tight on the GO gauge? That sounds easy enough. What I've been reading is that the GO gauge becomes the NO GO gauge for the 260 AI. Maybe I got that backwards. I think I read also that some one put a single paper shim between the bolt and GO gauge to make something like .004 difference. Anyway, if it works for you it should work for me too. Yeah I chose the 136 Scenar-L for ultra longrange workup. Those AMax bullets have a very slippery BC. I use the 162 AMax for my 7mm Rem Mag. Here in NM I have access to over a mile where we have steel set up at various distances. I have actually hit the 1788 yard piece (about 20" x 34") a few times with my 7mm Rem Mag. That's one of the reasons I love living here in the great West! The wind becomes horrendous this time of year though. I am probably trying to stretch this rifles legs a little more than the chambering will allow, but you never know until you try. At the very least it should be a very nice 1000 yard spanker.
