yep. you're right. just checked the new on-line catalogue for tikka, and the .260rem is available. note that the .260 is chambered in the short action. the swede is in the long action. so if you want it as light and as compact as possible, go the .260 . but if you handload, youshould be able to seat the projectiles further out into the lands with the long action and still get it to feed from the magazine.
