[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 2368043, member: 95875"] From my experience the model 7 can be made to shoot well. I have heard a lot of unhappy people, after they got their seven. Relieving the barrel of those pressure points is a good start. I bought one new when the 260 appeared in 1997. One thing i can say for sure. Remington promoted a 140 grain bullet in their literature, but sent out guns with a 1-10 twist. Bad move on their part. The little 260 will shoot 2 in a 1/2 inch group at 100. Then send a flier to make the group open up to 3/4 inch. The pencil thin barrel heats up quickly. My load is a 120 grain nosler ballistic, behind 41.5 grains of imr 4064. It was a 2 inch shooter at 100 yards with factory ammo. But groups decent with the nbt. Killed an 8 point just a couple of weeks back. I can pretty well say the nbt has never exited. The bucks heart and lungs were soup. [/QUOTE]
