My Savage .260Rem is a favorite.
<>< Fish
Well long story short, I picked up one last weekend brand new in a Savage model 11 in a light model. (I think thats what was on the box). It has the fluted bolt and slits in the forearm under the 20 inch barrel. The only things I don’t like about is the plastic trigger guard an magazine and the lowest I can get the trigger pull is 3 pounds 25 oz’s I have friend that has one in a Ruger Mark II with skeleton stock and it shoots lights out with 140 grain Remington Core-Locs
^ in other words, I'll keep my 260 along with its prefered load. No reason to get on the fad of the creed craze... just as I figured..
They made em out to be the best thing since sliced bread and sold a ton of em....I think it is a decent round but can’t jump on that train myself....another great round was the Remington 280 that didn’t get much love but a awesome performerI agree!! I’ve got to admit I was going to buy a creedmoor when they first come out, then I got to comparing and reading up on the two cartridges. IHMO it was just reinventing the wheel so to speak. The creedmoor was pushed and advertised more, where the 260 was not by Remington. Remington has had a lot of great cartridges fall by the wayside because of piss poor advertising such as the 6mm Remington vs ( 243 win and now the 6mm Creedmoor) 6.5 Remington Mag vs (264 win mag). I think it just comes down to advertising and how far company wants to push a particular cartridge.
I’ve got a Remington 700 Mtn Rifle in .280 and it’s without a doubt my favorite NON magnum cartridge.Th
