ER Shaw 6.5 group buy

[jimbo88mm]

I am very tempted to jump on this group buy. I have a couple of questions/requests

1) What kind of crown do these have (ie 11 degree)?
2) What is the finish?
3) These are all small shank, correct?
4) What loads are you guys using for .260?

Requests:

1) Can I get some screen shots?

Thanks

I just ordered a 260 barrel on the group buy, and was wondering how any of the previous varmint barrels were shooting? Does anyone have any range reports, or a link to a thread where this may have already been covered...
Also.. Does anyone know what reamer they use? I hope it is throated for the 140 class of bullets. Does anyone with the sporter 260 have any coal info of a loaded round they could share?

These have a 11 degree crown, polished finish, and are small shank.

Hey Lance,

Any updates on these? No rush just curious if they are going to ship out with the 6mm/224 barrels or if these will roll some time later.

Thanks

I haven't received a new ETA from Shaw yet so I don't want to speculate. I do know for sure they won't be shipping with the 6mm/224 barrels since those should be on the way Wednesday. As soon as I can get a new ETA on the 6.5's I'll post an update.

Lance,
I hope I'm not coming across rude, I don't mean to. I understand what its like to be in your shoes with stuff that is out of your control.
Thanks for setting up these awesome deals!

I'm sorry, I don't have any updates yet. I have tried reaching Rex three times this week including twice today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Lance was there any word yesterday on the ship date?

[lskok]

I received an update this morning. The barrels are scheduled to ship to me in 14 days. That will mean I'll have them sometime during the week between Christmas and New Years.

;D

Christmas comes at Christmas time!!

I was thinking new year new rifle ;D

Ok, don't shoot the messenger, but ER Shaw needs two more weeks to get the order completed.

Sorry guys.
