Picked up this Weather Warrior in 260 Rem a few weeks ago, but just got my hands on it a few days ago. She came with the Talleys, and the Boyd's stock, but I topped her off with a Leupold FX-3 6x42mm that I had laying around looking for a rifle.

Now I just have to get her to the range. The former owner says she is a shooter, even though he didn't do a lot of load development. Once my H4350 gets here, I'm going to load up some Berger 130 gr AR Hybrids, and see how they digest.

If it puts meat in the freezer. all is good. You cannot eat paper, well you can but it has no nutritional value.

Time to pressure wash and seal that deck and table.... looks like hell......:p

Oh don't worry, I don't shoot a whole lot of paper, I focus on killing. As for the table, it's old old, and the deck was coated in gray last summer, so it's all good.

That table looks to me like it's covered with something not so nice. Stick is nice however.

It's a beauty! Love that caliber too. Big fan of the short actions. I killed my best buck with a 260 and he didn't go 30 yards. And he was a Daddy Rabbit I had very good luck with the nosler Ballistic tip in mine they seem to be a very stout bullet kinda like the 120 gr in 7mm08s they hold together well and smash deer. That stock is purty as a new hundred dollar bill..

Thanks! The table is just 30 yrs of aged boards sitting out on my parents deck.

Thanks, I love the look of the rifle, it just needs to shoot well enough. I've been wanting a 260 for a while, and it worked out and I traded my way into this one for a steal.

Between this 260, and the 280 AI I'm having built right now, that completes my caliber collection from .243"-.308".

Oh, you poor man!!! You've been scammed!!! That rifle's defective, they put the bolt handle on the wrong side!!!!

What? You're right-handed? Never mind.:p

Seriously, look sweet! Let us know how it runs!
