[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 1108546, member: 18752"] After being a hunter for more than 50 years, I have settled on the 260 rem as my white tail cartridge. I recommend it or any of it's group (6.5 creedmore, 6.5 x 47 lapua, etc) for the following reasons. It is flexible, I can take my deer from 80 to 500 yards and not feel under or over gunned. It is efficient, I load about 43 grains of WIN 760 with a 130 AB and I have a fine accurate cartridge. It is accurate. Brass is available. Recoil is negligible. Factory rifles are available at a variety of price points that shoot it well. I settled on my Remington 700 Mountain Rifle built in the mid 80's. It came with pretty walnut stock and a deeply blued action and spaghetti barrel. The rifle came stock with a box magazine which I also love. This is one of the finest cold bore first shot rifles I have ever owned. Downside is don't try to shoot more than 3 rounds for a group. By the 4th the spaghetti is hot and rounds will fly everywhere. Just my 2 cents. rch [/QUOTE]
