[QUOTE="trebark, post: 952416, member: 19172"] After pounding a few thousand rounds down the barrel of this rifle, the barrel finally gave up. As a result, the rifle has been rebarreled, new (more effective) brake and repainted. This rifle will remain my go-to tactical rifle (for matches where a stage(s) are 600 yards or less). It may also spend some time in the field hunting deer and groundhogs. Here are the specs: [B]Action:[/B] Blueprinted Remington 700 [B]Caliber:[/B] 260Rem [B]Barrel:[/B] 26" fluted (previous barrel was 28"), heavy barrel, 1:8 twist to shoot 130grain custom bullets and/or 140grain bullets.
