What's the mag box length? Now that I'm thinking of it, I'd take a 308 IF the box was big enough and it was throated right to shine with the 155 Scenar. 3.125"

Still interested but like someone else said. It should offer something that a production rifle doesn't offer as a limited release. What that might be I don't know at this point. Just thinking out loud. Twist. The production rifle in 260 has a 9" twist. The exclusive would have an 8" twist. The optional stock color isn't in production. They aren't producing fluted models in this rifle either...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

SAS - so is that going to be the exclusive? Or hasn't that been settled yet? Just want to make sure I don't miss it as I'll be of the grid this weekend with limited connectivity. Thanks again for putting this together.

Order one and get in the boat. Pads can be added and stocks can be painted.

How about a 7-08AI, throated for a 150 Skinner or 162 amax?

Just to clarify, and no I didn't read all 5 pages, is this run going to be ONE rifle configuration, or are we picking between the 3 options? And why isn't 7x57 on the list. It fits in that action and Ingwe would approve....

This is an exclusive I'm doing from the shop. I thought I'd bring it to you guys first. We're committing several rifles to MRC and they need to be something they don't produce every day. I've planned some "real" group buys too. It's only February and the show season isn't even over yet! Just to clarify, and no I didn't read all 5 pages, is this run going to be ONE rifle configuration, or are we picking between the 3 options? And why isn't 7x57 on the list. It fits in that action and Ingwe would approve.... The 7x57 is something they run every day. We have one on the shelf.

From your initial list options:
1. 260
2. 1in 8 twist
3. 22 in barrel
4. Green stock
5. The proper contoured barrel for balance (haven't handled one, so will have to go off of your judgement) - skip the flutes and the cost associated with it.
6. Engraving doesn't matter to me, but to keep cost low...skip it.
KEEP THE RIFLE ONLY WEIGHT AS CLOSE TO 6.5 lbs AS POSSIBLE!!!!!

To comply with your initial list options:
1. 7-08
2. 1 in 8 twist
3. 22 in barrel - really no preference, 22 to 24.
4. Green stock
5. Although I prefer flutes, I would skip them to keep costs lower
6. No engraving to also save on costs.
A lot of people have responded with their "unique characteristics" that would be cool; however, I think following some of those suggestions would cause possible participants to flee.
