[QUOTE="Silly_Ghillie, post: 1629647, member: 107271"] I have one from McGowen. The action is a "blue printed" Rem 700 SA from PTG. barrel is a 26" medium palma, 1:8, .260 Rem. It prints a pretty decent group, right around .6 MOA using 130 gr. factory eld match but its really not broke in yet. I have it off to my smithy for some stock inlay work. BallisticsGuy is right, The industry apparently flexed to the demands of kitchen gunsmiths far and broad because "nut jobs" are popular nowadays. About the only mainstream rifle you cant nut on is Winchester CRF's and various other space agey rifles with cool gismos that require a cut on the face of the breach... Getting a barrel nut for your PRS rig is a smart move, especially if you are one of those people who swears to never let the barrel get too hot- but then you run it so hot you can cook bacon on that sucker. barrel changes can be done in 30 mins and you can get a good group established before the next weekends match.
