[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 1148176, member: 5217"] Well you could just go with the Rem 700 SPS in 260 that they brought out a year or two ago. It has a 24" barrel and an 8 twist. Probably not anything to write home about without some tweeking on your end but you never know you might get a pretty good one. This allows you to work with the cartridge and see if it is for you. If not you can always sell it get some of your money back and go to something else. I have been shooting the .260 for a long time and I like it a lot, actually it is my deer rifle of choice I have numerous choices in the safe but when it is deer that's the one I usually grab 90% of the time. The cartridge is pretty mild mannered and easy to load for with a large spectrum of bullet weights and powders. I have worked up loads from 100-140 with pretty much all the major MFG's bullets and powders from Rl-15 up to 7828. Most of the time the results were acceptable for general hunting and some ( my current loads) excellent. Just what my rifle shoots the best which also happens to work the best on deer sized game inside the 260's performance range. The .260 is not for everyone as we all have our preferences but I like it just fine and it works well so I will continue to use it cause it is just plain fun to load for and shoot. [/QUOTE]
