Gentlemen,
I have been thinking of building a .264 Winchester Magnum setup for 139-140 grain Lapua/Berger VLDs for some time. Just picked up 500 pieces of Nosler Brass, Redding Competition Dies, and a few bullets in the weight range. I'm also going to add Nosler's own 130 & 140 grain Accubonds to the mix. Never had bad luck making a solid rifle shoot with Nosler Bullets...fwiw.
This leaves me without one thing... The Rifle...
I'm thinking:
Remington 700 or Defiance unit with fluted bolt, Nesika Bolt Release, etc.
Rock or Bartlein Fluted 1-8 twist 26" barrel of roughly a #5.5/Sendero Contour. I have to have a little bit of steel up front, for the torque shoulder, as a suppressor will be used more often than not.
Open to reamer specs. Anyone have one to recommend?
Advanced Armament QD Titan Suppressor. 20 oz. of Grade 5 Titanium. Built for the .338 Lapua, however, it dampens the report of smaller chamberings quite well even with the blow by. I have an extra Titan that is waiting for ATF approval. Should be here by February.
Williams Oberndorf Release Bottom Metal
McMillan Classic Stock with Remington Sporter fill in Black Polane or OD, gray, and tan Gel-Coat.
Have also thought of giving Darrel Holland's Stock a try. Fairly certain it's made for him by McMillan...
Would greatly appreciate your input...
Happy Holidays!
