[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 2038615, member: 3056"] My situation is very similar to yours in that I live in the SE but try to make it out west every year. Also like you, I have a bigger gun (300WM) for elk and anything else that fits the need. I built a .260 based on a 700 action I had and its absolutely one of my favorite rifles to carry and shoot. Has a 24" Pacnor barrel and a Manners stock. Not sure of the exact weight but its comfortable to carry and shoot. It drops the 143 ELDX into tiny groups and spotting impacts without a brake is easy. My son has been using it very effectively here at home for deer with most of them being one shot drops ranging from 50 to about 200yds. Lapua makes really good brass for the 260 and combined with H4831SC, its been really easy to find and maintain accurate loads. [/QUOTE]
