I zero at 200 yds. I am using a Farrell 40 moa base. Scope is a IOR Recon on a 260 Rem. I am up 3.1 mil. for 600, 7.6 mil for 1000 and23.1 for 1760.

I put a pre-fit Criterion 260 Rem. barrel on my Savage and was able to hit an 18" plate at 1760 a couple of times. The stock on it is a Choate. This was a used gun that I bought so I have around $1000. in it. Lots of room for good glass.

I shoot a 260 rem. and use a 40moa. Farrell base holding American Rifle Co. rings wrapped around my IOR Recon 4-28x50 40mm scope. The scope has 35 mils of elevation in it. I had to use 22 mil elevation to throw the 140gr. Hybrid at 2860fps. to hit an 18in. plate at 1760. Farrell makes great...

I use 20 moa bases on most rifles. My LR guns I use 40 moa bases.

I have a Criterion in 260 an am very happy with it. I shoot mid and long range targets. I also have hit a 18 inch plate at 1760 a couple of times. The guys who make Criterion use to work at Krieger. I think they started making prefits for military rifles 03's and Garands.

I'll keep my 260, have hit MOA target at 1760.

6.5-284 barrel life is 700-800 rounds. I would do 6.5x55, it and 06 has killed more game than any other caliber.

I would say the 30-06 and 6.5x55 Swed. have killed more animals than any other cartridge.

I would go with the 260 if you reload. I think it has just a little more punch. My 260 is used fo target shooter and have lit a 18" plate at 1760 yards a couple of times, using Berger 140 hybred. My load stays supersonic out to 1300 yards and still running 1270fps.

My first would be my 260 Rem., 308 and 22 rim.

Know Dave for years. He invited me up to his shop when we were talking about a reamer. Went up there and he gave us a tour of the place. Only thing I can say is very impressive with the machinery and the work of his people. He's the best.

I have a short action savage and put a Criterion prefit 260 barrel on it. I am a target shooter and shoot 600 yds. all the time and it will put it in the X ring when I do my part. Also have shot it at 1000 very well but what thrilled me was hitting an 18 inch plate at 1760 twice. Criterion makes...
