Early APS 260 Rem Sporter for sale

Had a customer contact be asking if i could help him sell a rifle i built for him. Apparently i shipped the rifle to him and he had some health issues and never shot the rifle.

Told him to send the rifle to me to evaluate as it was hard to believe it had not been fired but sure enough it appears to be just as i shipped.

This is one of my early APS Sporters in 260 Rem.

-fully blueprinted Rem 700 SA
-right hand
-23" stainless fluted Lilja #4 8 twist barrel
-mcmillan BDL sporter stock w/ adl style magazine,13.5" LOP, 1" decel pad, 50% dark brown 50% black gel coat mable finish
-comes with standard leupold one piece base with 1" rings

Retested rifle for accuracy when it arrived back and with the 130 gr. Accubond was printing right at 1/2 moa.

Bore is mint, complete rifle is mint other then one small rub on the outside edge of crown, no effect on appearance or performance.

If ordered new today would cost $2300.

Seller wants to try to get $1700.

Posting this on my ipad so posting pictures is a pain so if interested please email me at [email protected] to get pics. Very nice little compact rifle. Hard to think of a better truck or stand rifle. Appears a picture got attached but upside down, sorry.

Thanks

Just curious , what velocity are you getting out of your hand loads for this caliber. Starting to look for another 6.5

Kirby that's a great looking rig even upside down.

Can that stock be opened up for BDL bottom metal?

What is it's weight?

 

[Bcrawford]

Same question . Thanks

Kirby,

Email sent. Let me know his answer pleaee

Right at 8 lbs bare rifle weight.

Need to make a correction, its a #5 contour barrel.

Yes this could be converted for a BDL floorplate or detachable mag system but that additional work would be between the buyer and me, not the seller. So selling rifle first, if mods are wanted, we can certainly do that after the purchase.

Thanks guys.

My test load with te 130 gr accubond clocked 2820 fps from this relatively short barrel.

Thats about where it should be for a 24" barrel length. Would probably do 2850 fps pretty easily with the best powders. Some of the best powders for velocity are often not the very best for all around performance.

Just waiting on your estimate for the work and I'll take this off your hands.

 

[marioq]

Well I guess it's mine. Sorry rose!!! But now I can copy your loads!!

 

[Fiftydriver]

Sold pending funds.
