You wont go wrong with either, I have a swede and my son has a 260 I think the swede is a little lighter on recoil due to the angle on the case shoulder (jmo). also in the Ruger the 260 is a short action and the swede is what I call a medium action also I have noticed when shooting hand load off the bench the 260 tends to heat the barrel faster than the swede. good luck
