Just got my 260AI Alamo Precision rifle back yesterday. So far I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out! I added the Bushnell 3.2-21x50 G2DMR. Can't wait to get it out on the range! I really need to find a range that has more than 100yrds in the DFW area so I can stretch it's legs a little!

Tacpro isn't far. Join up and take a class.
A rifle like that deserves to be worn out.

That's a 3.2-21?
Otherwise, I sure love it!

Looks nice!
I've been needing to stop by there and talk to them about threading some barrels for a new toy that is on order.

Let us know how well the 260 A.I. feeds and what kind of velocity it makes.
Really liking the scope you picked. I have one on loan from Bushnell and am very impressed with it.

I definitely need to work on shooting more! These were my best groups, but after things heated up with the suppressor things opened up a bit. Keep in mind this was NOT meant to be a bench rest rifle, it's a "tactical" rifle. Another thing to remember is this is factory Nosler 260 ammo and not the 260 AI ammo the chamber is cut for. Can't wait to see if I can tighten things up a little with my 260AI reloads! Bottom two shots were adjusted for the following three. .6315-.264 = .3675 first three shots .5090 - .264 = .245

What barrel did you use? Robert does excellent work. He's building me a 26 Nosler and I'll be glad when when he calls me to say it's ready.

Mine will be similar but I went with a Bartlein 3B barrel that's a smaller contour than the Sendero contour that he used.

Nice. You should gain 50-100fps with formed brass.

Very nice rifle!

Have you tried H4350? I've read that most people use H4350, H4381 SC, RL 17 or RL19. I've got some RL17, but I've read much more about H4350 and H4381 SC.
