260Rem. is a good cartridge, but don't like those short barrels on the Ruger compacts.
They're only 16" or so. I'd rather have a Remington Model 7 in 260. The laminated stock is also better, and the rifle has a 20" barrel - ok.

Oops! Forgot, Remington quit chambering the laminated stock model in 260. But, they
still chamber it in the Rem. Model 7 with synthetic stock, and stainless barrel/action, with
the 20" barrel.
Now, the one I like best is the Rem. 700 LSS Mountain Rifle for a 260Rem. It is stainless
with laminated stock, and 22" barrel. It only approx. 6-1/2lbs. too. I have one in
270Win., and it's been a real good rifle - very accurate too.

You are right I wish it did have atleast the 20in. tube. Where about in SW Va you hunt?????????

Get the Ruger .260 in the standard it will still only be about 7 lbs and my frieds shoots will shoot well under 1" at 100 yards.

Hello BIGDADDY4FSU,
I have that combination and have shot HOGS & DEER with it...... great shooter!!!
I have also a M77 in 6.5 Swedish. They are close.
From caliber to MM----Divide by .040, From MM to caliber-----Multiply by .040........If any help????

Have the Ruger M77in 6.5Swed...22" barrel....... .260 & 6.5 are really close.

The .260 compact will kill hogs and deer also! If you like it, then that's what counts...
