what 260 rem

[TheFishBox]

I am looking to get a 260 rem for my long range practice rifle. I am looking at two different rifles and was wanting some opinions. The first choice is the savage 260 lrp, and number 2 is getting a nw actionworks barreled action. Does anyone have experience with either of these two? I like the idea of the nw one since I can have a few extras done to it like fluting, muzzle brake, and maybe cerakote.

Well I have the Savage LRP in the 6.5 Creed and love it. It comes with a fluted barrel. It has made several 5 round 1/4 MOA groups and many many many 3 shot .1 MOA groups. Doubt if a custom rifle would do any better, with me shooting anyway...

Custom barrels are nice though. That's really what you are getting with the NW Action Works rifle. You really don't need a break with a Savage LRP. Not unless you just like to annoy the guy beside you. LOL

I have a Savage LRP in 260. With over 1000 rounds down the tube it is still shooting sub .25MOA. It does equally well with 142SMK, 140 Berger, or 140AMX. Shown is 43.7 gr H4831sc, 142 SMK, Fed 210 primer. I have a NF 8x32 Benchrest mounted and use it for 300 yard egg shoot competition. It a very heavy rifle but it sure shoots!

I don't shoot at a range so I don't have to worry about the guy next to me.

I've been shooting a LRP 260 for about five years. Very happy with the accuracy

Nice Rig!! Any pictures of groups you've shot?

I'm not a steady sub MOA shooter so most of my groups follow suit I had it out this morning and both groups at 300 yards were right at 1moa. I've shot a couple half moa groups at 450-650 yards but that is not the norm for me

Besides that beast of a scope, what did it cost to get that beauty built?

Painted it myself and the bottom metal is Pacific Tool AICS, bolted right on!

I've got PT&G metal on three rifles now. Could not be more pleased with their work.

Theit pricing is very good too for the quality you are getting.
