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!

Looks tremendous, how's it shoot? 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.

Nice. There's something about a wood stock that makes a person feel warm & cozy.

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?
