Rifle as shown in 260 Remington W/O scope or scope mount has been reduced to just $3,250.00 which includes seven 100 ct. boxes of Lapua brass, (3) 2x, (4) 3x all stainless steel wet tumbled, not sized.

I also have a Krieger 308 Winchester barrel with only 297 rounds. Honestly it has the same thread pitch as a few of my other actions, so it’s not important if it sells or not. If the buyer wants it, it’s ($800.00).

I’ll sell it with either barrel installed if a buyer wants a 308, vs the 260.

NightForce ATACR F1 Mrad, Mil-XT reticle that has recently been inspected and tested by NF in December of 2024 is $3,000.00 with the MDT Tactical scope mount, or I have a SPUHR #4001 if you prefer to have that instead.

History of the gun:
I bought this used from MHSA in October of 2020. Its been The most accurate rifle I’ve ever bought! I was told it had only 800-900 rounds through it.

I used it for the next 3 years and had SAC install another 27” Hawk Hill MTU 1:8” .264 cal barrel in February of 2023 I had bought two years prior. Along with a 27” .308 Krieger MTU in 1:9” twist for shooting long distance precision using the Berger 185 Juggernaut bullet. (That barrel is sold separately from the cost of the rifle being sold as well as the NF ATACR Scope and MDT mount.)

The 260 was chambered at SAC with a Match Tac reamer designed for Lapua brass and the BT right at the neck/shoulder junction with Sierra 142 CN SMK’s. Currently loaded ammo COAL is 2.8300”. I typically get 2,800-2,825 f/s with this barrel using various powders designed for this case. H4350, H4831sc, VV N160, etc, and they all provide exceptional accuracy no matter how you assemble the ammunition.

The 260 has 706 rounds down the barrel to date, 07/15/25 (See test targets in the photos, those are fairly current). Yes the groups shrink when a APA G3 Little Bastard is installed. Barrel is threaded 5/8x24.

Krieger 308 Winchester barrel $800.00.

I competed in PRS with this rifle as well as another one I have identical too it, but is a 6GT/ SBR 308.

There’s plenty of shooters out there twice as good as me and as such, would be in the top tier competitively with this rifle, but I’m just not that good!

I can’t competitively compete anymore, so I’m selling off this rifle to someone that can actually bring it the justice it deserves.

More photos of what shows handling/use which is nothing IMO. The most significant scratches are on the bottom of the butt rider.

There’s light paint loss from bag recoiling bottom of the forend of the stock.

The last picture is targets prior to competing that I shot at home.

I forgot to add:

The SAC alpha II is a proprietary action designed by Mark Gordon, and built by defiance machine. It features a AW cut bottom, and this has a Surgeon bottom metal, and comes with (1) Accuracy International AW Ten round magazine, if allowed by the State you reside in.

All 700 pcs of the fire formed Lapua brass are cleaned in SS media and wet tumbled shiny and looking like new. Some are 2x and some are 3x due to being shot in the previous barrel prior to February of 2023.

The rifle has a Trigger Tech diamond with the pro curve shoe set at 2.25 pounds.

Jim Borden brought up why I‘ve been having issues with my load development, and my groups off my shooting bench…. I shouldn’t have been using a bench that has the seat attached to it!

I only wish we had that conversation years ago!

The flapper was taking a beating and flipped over with each center hit…. So it was reengaged to put it back down twice.

Who says a rifle can’t shoot a better group out to distance might want to take a look at the proximity of those four impacts at 370 yards are just as close as they were when it was 100 yards off of a bench. That with a 10 mile an hour head wind.

How does it shot at distance?
How many impacts did you make on the 500 yard mover when we RO’d the Karstetter Memorial Match in 2023 when it was shooting a different load, (42.4 H4350, F210M, New brass @ 2.2475 CBTO). But with the same bullet, and the 100 yard groups weren’t any better than what I shot today!?!

You couldn’t miss dude! After all I put three 3 round groups @ 819 yards after I sent the first one and corrected for the wind! That totally changed my mind about so-so 100 yard groups.

I got to taking with Jim Borden on why would this rifle not stay consistent at 100 yards on paper and he took one look at my BR Pivot Shooting Bench and said “That’s your problem, you don’t ever want the seat attached to the table!”

I would have never thought that has been possible until it made total sense!!

I had the chance to test fire this rifle again yesterday after talking to Jim Borden.

I’ve owned that bench for over twenty years, and I would have never thought of that’s why my groups at 100 yards have changed at times!

Here’s what matters…, It’ll shot a 1.75” group at 378 yards from an unsupported rear PRS type shooting position.

I shot with (43.0 VV N160 CCI-34’s in 2x Lapua brass @ 2.8300” coal). This rifle will shoot tiny groups with 42.5 H4350, or H4831sc using the same bullet.

FWIW, The 700 pieces of Lapua brass that is included in my asking price is worth $350.00 IMO. I’ll lose another $150-$175 on shipping.

Short Action Customs has been building super accurate rifles from day one, and has now become a very popular brand.

Don’t like owning a 260…. I’ll take $350 off the price and sell the brass myself so you can have it chambered to a 6.5x47, or a 6.5 Creedmoor if you like? It’s an easy $325 fix to chamber it up and cut it down to whatever length you want as long as it’s less than the 27”.

This barrel has an easy 2,000 rounds of barrel life since its never had been exposed to extended fire, 10 or less, I got timed out most of the time at these events anyway.
 
I’ll include a Redding Type S Match F/L die set and a Titanium bushing to the buyer of the 260 Remington firearm.

Total additional items included with the purchase are:
700 pieces of 260 Remington Lapua brass.
A MagnetoSpeed V3 Chronograph in like new condition.
A Redding Type S Match F/L die set in 260 Remington, with a Titanium bushing.
That’s $600 worth of stuff and over $1,500 if you bought them new!
 
New lower price as of 07/15/25.

$3,250.00 shipped and insured from East County Guns. FedEx for all the other items included.

BTW, It is also cross listed.
