Bob, it's a re-barrel. Picked up the 260 factory barrel from a guy on the forum who got it from his gunsmith. My smith bead-blasted it to a new finish, screwed it on and opened up the chamber a skoshe as the No-Go Gauge wouldn't go. Just re-bedded the barrel under the chamber and re-mounted the scope. Will head out with some handloads in the am... fingers crossed.
