I finally built my first custom rifles and Alamo Precision Rifles really exceeded all expectations. They were patient will all my silly questions and guided me to a final product that will do everything I need it to do and more. I couldn’t be happier. They are the real deal and I’ll be building another one soon.
Custom 260 Remington:
Trued 700 Action
22" #3 Bartlein
Fluted Bolt Knob
Boyd's Laminate Stock
Timney Trigger
Gre-tan FP assembly
Side Bolt Stop release
Spiral Fluted bolt and barrel
Talley Ultra Light Rings
Meopta MeoPro
Hex Cut Bolt Shroud
Graphite Black Cerakote on bolt and bottom medal and bead blast stainless barrel/action

Some of the little details:

Perfect gun = happy girl!

Shoots great but I haven't had good conditions for really testing it in. I was super happy with it the other day but it was really too windy.

Very nice rig, I'll bet it will shoot little bug holes. Robert built my 26 nosler and I couldn't be more pleased.

Got a chance to do some predator control this weekend. First kill with the new gun was one of the nastiest coyotes I've seen in a while... maybe a chupacabra?
