OP rugercollector Campfire Member Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 238 Central Louisiana	Finally got my custom 260 complete and in my hands. Ruger 77 flat bolt action 260 rem caliber Pac Nor 8 twist 5 groove 22 inches Satin blue finish by my local gunsmith. Mcmillan Sako Hunter stock cut to 13.5 inches Pacmeyer decellerator pad. Original Ruger trigger still installed but have a Timney in hand to install. Showing a lot of promise at the range with 129 Hornady Interlocks. Still kinda shooting a little and then cleaning the barrel. This is the only one I will ever have built. I had the itch for a long time and now its scratched. RC

I still get riled when I think of its loss.

I just know it went missing and thats the story I was told. Thats been many years ago now, and it still chaps my rear. RC
