[QUOTE="BlackWhiskey, post: 671071, member: 50599"] 260 is a great cartridge. I originally had my Surgeon chambered in 260 but recently re-barreled it in 6.5 Creedmoor because of the accuracy and availability of factory match ammunition which is helpful when I don't have time to reload for a match. I would start first by picking an action that you like and then building from there. If you want to do the bulk of the work yourself you have two great options. I know there are several companies that make pre-cut barrels in 260 for both the Savage and Remington 700 actions. The Savage/Stevens would be much easier to fit the barrel to than the 700, but I am partial to 700s because they just feel better to me. I would suggest getting out and spending time behind both actions and decide which you like better. There are an infinite number of stocks and accessories for both actions, but what some companies make for one action they may not make for the other, and vice versa (i.e. the AICS line of stocks has inlets for the 700 but not the Savage). This may influence your decision on which action to choose. [/QUOTE]
