[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1298178, member: 72601"] Not trying to derail the thread here, but regarding 260 vs 308 why not go with less recoil for equal or better performance over extended distance of 800+ yards. I've ran these numbers yes the 308 with a 208 eld or a 215 vld is very impressive. But a 260 pushing a 147 eld at 2850 is even more so! Or the new nosler rdf 140. If the bc is true that's a heck of a bullet. I must admit I'm not a 30 cal man....I like my 6.5s and 7mms:D As for the rifle I've had outstanding luck with savages. Yes they are ugly and the action definitely isn't a remmy 700 but guess what.... they shoot. I don't however, believe I've heard one bad report about the Remington 5r rifles. I've considered them myself but nothing in a chambering I'm looking for. I say pick a 260/6.5cm and run with it. Shoot it, learn it, and don't look back. [/QUOTE]
