[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 816522, member: 12995"] 7mm-08 would be my choice. But mind you, my opinion will be biased, since i do not, and have not owned a .260 Rem. Why would I pick the 7mm-08? 1) I have one, and have had one since I was 12 (15 years), and it has been an excellent caliber, and has never let me down. I have taken many whitetails with it, even out to 400 yards. Excellent caliber for taking any game in north America inside of 500 yards. 2) 7mm (.284 caliber) has an excellent and diverse bullet selection with weights ranging from lightweights to very heavy bullets with very high BC's capable of fairly long range. 3) 7mm-08 brass is very easily attainable, and can be made from .308 Win brass simply by putting .308 brass in your 7mm-08 FL sizing die. 4) I prefer the slightly larger bullet diameter as compared to the smaller bullet diameter.
