In your opinion how much life is left in the barrel? When were those groups pictures shot in the life of the barrel? Were long strings shot or was the barrel allowed to cool between shots. I am very interested in this gun as Nate makes great guns and I have 3 of his now. Would be a done deal if I was not having a 6.5x284 or 26 Nosler built at this very moment by a very accomplished builder and sponsor on this site (DCGS). With that said, I am still interested.

I assume you will share all load data with buyer.

You're right, Nate builds very accurate rifles! Everything this rifle shoots is easily 1/2" or better. Most of the time, it's a 1/4 inch. Yes all load data comes with it on everything I have shot. As far as barrel life goes, I don't really know what a 260's life is. I have heard from 2500-3000 or so. I have shot a few local matches with it, but mostly used it for antelope/deer hunting. A few of the target pictures are very recent. The one below is 3/2015. Took it out of the safe to test it.
