Ive got a custom lightweight .260rem built by English Rifles...would be a perfect sheep gun!! Bought gun, mounted a scope to it and parked it in the safe. Had a 6.5x47 build at the same time I bought this in January 2017, worked a load up for the 6.5x47, it shot lights out, and have done nothing with the 260. A friend took it out last fall and ran a box of factory Hornady Custom ammo w/ the 130 grain ELD-M bullets and said it shot easily 3/4 moa, I have no doubt that with some load work It can do better. Have other guns I would rather mess with so it's time to move this one on!!

A couple folks have asked about weight. Just under 7 1/2 pounds with scope as pictured.... rifle alone is around 6 pounds. Also, not interested in any trades at this time!!
