[QUOTE="6.5BR, post: 2158658, member: 9118"] Actually there was a time when I went thru a BUNCH of problematic 700s - Rem had some QC issues, not talking about triggers. Older 700s seemed consistent. They may have gotten back on track a bit before the VC firms ran them in the ground. I owned a custom 6.5/308 the year before 260 was SAAMI'd - and many 260s including a couple of nice customs. They shoot well but more fickle to get accuracy vs a CM or 47. That said, if you run Lapua brass or other quality brass and the right powders, you can get solid accuracy. To me it's easier to find accuracy when loading a CM or 47.......and good ammo is factory available in CM. 260s will give a bit more speed.......not enough to matter to me. [/QUOTE]
