Did it show up yet?
Yep, I just haven't picked it up yet. I had my hands pretty full the last three days and now with all of the rain we're getting I'll have time to pick it up and no chance to shoot until probably next weekend. HA!gun)Did it show up yet?
Measure that twist when you clean that bore.Picked up the 5R .260 today.
Overall general impression? I like it.
It took me less than 2 minutes to get the trigger adjusted enough to make it perfectly acceptable.
Fit/finish etc? Very pleased.
Fluting? I'm really impressed with this style of fluting using 3 big, wide, deep grooves.
Going to have to wait a few days on my picatinny rail to come in. With a little luck though I'll have it in by the end of the week and I'll then have it scoped and ready to shoot as soon as things dry up a bit.
I must admit, I'm actually pretty excited to get both of the 260's out and get a few rounds down range.

It's gotta be a 1:8--there is no way it's going to be 1:11.25. Even their SPS is a 1:8 now, so they'd have to make it 1:8.
Hey, how about some pics???Picked up the 5R .260 today.

In all likelihood their website is maintained by a third party vendor who outsources the labor to India or China or some other non English speaking part of the world.Good.
Listing the wrong twist on their own website worries me.
Well I've been short on time but got out one afternoon for a couple of hours with it.This thread got me excited about 5Rs again and I had never tried that rifle in a 300 win mag....so now I got one on the way. 24" stainless and threaded so I can use my specwar 762 on it. Hoping I get lucky with minimal POI shift, and good performance with 200eld-x rounds!
I'll see about it tomorrow, it's still storming here and it's out in the truck.Pics of the new 5R 260?
