31.5 inches folded, removing the Flash hider makes it about 30.5 inches folded.

Just over 1/2 inch at 100 yards- 5,6,7th shots...so much for break in...
GAP built this for me- it was worth the 5K
*These pics are from when it was new...it's been dragged many times since then.

Yes the Manners stock is GTG. Tom Manners is top notch. Fast, clean and takes care of cops.
Mike Miller makes a good sling. The Quick Cuff works.
I was shooting off that same slab a few months ago- Great course- was that the 2 week WarFighter?
How did that dude like his Choate Stock?

Dave
It was a sniper/counter sniper/advanced sniper combined package.
He was good with the choate while in the prone but quickly realized it was a piece of shit when shooting offhand/over cover etc...He has good glass and a McMillan stock on it now i believe.
Not the greatest pic but it'll suffice. My 700P, soon to be rattle-canned:

It took forever to get a decent zero on my rig because it was real windy at ASR but this is the best group I had
it isnt that great but the barrel isnt broken in and the accupod while great is really squishy on the Houge stock, its kinda like shooting on Jello
next outing Ill sandbag it to get a proper gauge of how it shoots

Stu,How is the 260 in comparison to the 308 in regards to LR shooting,I have HEARD it is just as good or better and easier to reload.
I own both, .308 & .260
Both in McMillan A3's. Another .223 is being built as I type this in another A3 (yes I have a McMA3 fetish)
For comps that are not caliber specific I will always shoot the .260
Whatever my dope for wind is on the .308 I have in the past used just less than half value for my .260.
My come-ups are less also.
As far as the claim that the .260 kicks less then a .308.......I personally can't tell the differance between either of mine.
Not sure if you can read what my load is so I'll post it:
Remington RP brass
Primer pocket cleaned
Primer hole cleaned
Inside & outside neck chamfered
CCI BR 2 primers
41.7 gr. of H4350
Sierra 142 BTHP
Loaded to 2.820
This load is a work up that I have done that works extremely well in rifle.
Caution: work up to this load and check for pressures in your stick.
I'm not sure that reloading a .260 is any easier than ________ but it's pretty straight foreward.
FWIW,
Stu

Man I've been working on my wife for a year to let me spend some of the money I've been making while working down range. I am willing to seperate with $3685.00 for the bare rifle in a heartbeat but she isn't quite so eager. A quick to Scott over at S/C and I would be all set, then wait for delivery.
Edit: After some chat / IM time with the wife last night I think she has warmed to the idea. She even stepped out and asked me what it would take to order one and how long of a wait it would be. I really think she might be coming around and seeing things my way!
I have finished my Reimington
Its a SPS in .223
I have a Bell and Carlson Light tactical stock on it (Cammo job done by me)
The scope is a Falcon Menace
The Rings are Burris XTR
The Base is a 20MOA from IOR
