[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1336431, member: 97050"] My opinion..based on some fact, like i said is the over bore. the 260 is like all the 6.5 carts..overbore which creates higher pressure, and effect on a barrel life. I have no problem with any of the 6.5s though i think they are great. On the other end, i am a huge fan of the 300 win mag as its one of my do all cartridges. I hunt most large game and i hit steel out at distance beyond a mile. With these magnums, you already know theres going to be a smaller barrel life than say a 308, but your are extending your reach for the same barrel life. The price point is a lot better than the .338s and so forth. Recoil is going to be there, but if you are use to it and have good fundamentals, it no problem...just when you start load the bipod...dont scope check yourself, ive seent it happen to the best. Good luck on your build. [/QUOTE]
