98Z5V Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 (edited) MAAAAAAANNNN.... This thing is gonna be badass... Refer to my .243 Win post about the new STAG-10 stuff from Aero Precision. I pulled another tungsten-cerakote set as soon as I laid eyes on that RAL-8000 set that I got for the .243. The receiver sets are AMAZING. Aero should do to their M5 stuff, what they're doing for STAG Arms. They're fukking SWEET! Here's the rundown. I've been running my .260 Rem since 2018. Here's my original .260 Remington. I built it that spring, developed the load, and fired it up, that summer. @Armed Eye Doc made us all some custom ejection port doors for that 2018 Fall Shoot, and that went on the gun, for sure. That ejection port door cost @JBMatt about 2 grand... Glad I already had a gun to put it on... Matt was pissed... LMAO. That original gun has NEVER been anything but stellar. It's a fukking Rock Star. Well, back in the Kim-Days, when she was here, and didn't go Ballistic Bat-Shhit Psycho again, I build her a clone to that gun. She went completely apeshiit before Christmas 2022, so she didn't GET that gun for Christmas 2022... Oh well. When I jumped on the Aero STAG-10 contract overrun stuff, got the first one, received it, and saw how well it was made - I ordered another set the very next day, in Tungsten cerakote. Right away. The plan was to just stash it away - because, something will happen. Right? I started thinking about it. After it was in my hands, and it's so sexy. Let's just rip down Kim's .260, and straight rebuild it on this new tungsten receiver set! I'll shoot THE SHIIT out of THAT THING!!! Plus, the first .260 is getting a little long in the tooth... Maybe the first .260 - it's zero'd, ready to go - that one is the new backup .260. Yeah, I like it. So, to be transparent, and not lie. I stole the Athlon scope and the Armalite mount off the Mk11 gun, just for this. I need a dedicated LaRue mount and another Athlon scope, to complete this gun - but I swiped that shiit so I can zero this gun, confirm my handload is the same, and run it in the Heavy Metal category in the May match... This gun is complete, 100%, minus having it's own scope and mount. This is the new .260 Rem... Proof of Life - the old .260 is sitting behing the new .260 in this pic.
