[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1260675, member: 30902"] I have two .260 Rem bolt rifles and one AR260 as well. This year I bought both a Gen 2 5R Rem 700 and Ruger Hawkeye FTW edition both in .260. Both are ridiculously accurate rifles that perform well above their price points with a variety of ammo. The Ruger is a good bit lighter than the Remington so it gets the lean if you are going to be carrying it in the woods all day but the Remington so far seems to be at least slightly more accurate with a broader variety of factory ammo. Both shoot sub MOA with everything I've fed them so far so the difference is very slight. Both are capable of .25-.5 MOA with the right load even with me doing the shooting and that says a whole lot. The Remington beats the Ruger for the "cool factor" just on looks as it has a really unique fluting I've never seen before and the Ruger isn't fluted at all, just a nice matte stainless sandblasted finish on a lighter barrel than the Remington. I would buy another of each of them anytime without hesitation and if I didn't already have more .300wm's than I can keep up with I'd probably buy one of each of them in the Winny. [/QUOTE]
