So last year I had a buddy of mine Tom Ryder over at SPR Industries in Seattle build me a .260 Remington. I told him I wanted a heavy MTU contour with a barrel 26 inches or longer and set up to be run with a SureFire can. What I got was a very well built Remington bolt gun that the fit and finish was amazing and can shoot also.
The weather outside for the two different days I shot this gun was in the mid 70’s to low 80’s with a lot of mirage. For how much mirage I was getting I was amazed at the groups I was shooting. My best group was .587 and there were at least 4 more groups under ¾ MOA. I fired a 10 shot group with 5 rounds suppressed took off the can put it back on and shot 5 more rounds through it that measured just 1.071. I know this gun will shoot a lot better because I was shooting a lot of small ¼ MOA groups and then with the mirage I would throw a shot or two. I am hoping to get back out in the next couple of weeks and shoot in the morning so the mirage isn’t an issue and see if I can’t make those groups shrink by a lot more. Below are some of my groups that I shot with this gun and the specs. Remington 700 trued and blueprinted Krieger MTU contour 1 in 8.5 twist finished at 27inches with a SureFire MB68K muzzle brake. Factory trigger set at 2.5lbs Larue 20MOA base and SPR mount with a Nightforce NXS 5-22 with zero stop. SPR Industries, LLC Email: info@sprindustriesllc.com Phone: 360-461-6875         |

Yes, Big Baby Elvis does some amazing work. I have one of his barreled actions here right now that I DuraCoated for him. If I was into bolt guns I would most certainly have Tom do the work. Great looking rifle!

Mirage . . . too much mirage . . . you mean the mirage you get from too much heat and sunshine?? You're not making any friends here, pal. Remember where this forum is based!    Just kidding.

If TA had a precision bolt gun, he would no longer be able to blame the rifle.

I don't blame anything. Nothing to blame when you are a great shot. Steve's trying to take one from his own playbook.
Tom, if I had the money to have you build me a nice bolt gun than maybe I would change my mind. Until then...eh. _________________ "There's two things in life you can't take back... Bullets and words. So make sure you hit what you aim at and make sure you mean what you say." |

TA, if cash is what's holding you back we need to talk. I build custom gun's and I can formulate a custom payment plan just for you! My original business name was going to be "Honest Tom's Gun-O-Rama", but it was taken already!
