[QUOTE="Andrew Cowling, post: 1666021, member: 109547"] I have built a few on ruger short actions. My hunter has a chromoly 24 inch 1-8 twist hand lapped number 6 profile, 0.675 at the muzzle. My target rifle has a 28 inch 1-8 twist hand lapped number 7 profile, .775 at the muzzle. Both shoot the 139gr lapua scenar very well. Minimum barrel length I would recommend for the .260 rem or the AI variant would be 24 inches. Any shorter and you will lose the velocity andvantage. [/QUOTE]
