[QUOTE="excaliber, post: 1303574, member: 86034"] It looks like I've decided on a 260 Rem for the Wife. After looking at all the factory options I'm leaning to having one built. The only one that really looks nice is the new Ruger FTW bolt action but it only has a 24" barrel. I'd go Remington 700 if I could get it in a stainless action so I could build on it should it not shoot. I'm looking at a new Bartlein barrel 5R 8 twist but not sure of the contour. I have a #3 on my 300 Win Mag and that gun is 9-3/4 lbs with scope. I'd like this gun to be a bit lighter. With the Rem 700 short action could I go down one size to a 2B (5-1/3 oz lighter)and still have a gun that wont have a quick to heat barrel? I'm not sure how hot this type of barrel gets with a 260 rem? [/QUOTE]
