Hey guys. My name is Preston and I'm 25. I've been shooting my whole life, but I am fairly new to reloading and building precision rifles. Most of my rifle shooting revolves around varmint hunting. My current project is my late fathers Model 12FV 223. I am working on getting into longer range shooting. I am waiting on a 260 REM 40* shoulder barrel from Mike Bellm. I joined the site to learn what goes into rebarreling a savage as well as obtaining the parts and knowledge to convert the bolt and magazine to accept the 260. I am also going to be in the market for a trigger to replace the accutrigger. I don't have any pictures or numbers off of the rifle I am working on but I will get some up later. I do have a few pictures of my reloading room, don't mind the mess, it was cleaning day. Thanks in advance for the help. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/12/930496145306d5a2f33426ac096af394.jpg

Mainly in my backyard at steel, but the lane next to my house is good for 400 yds.
