I have a rem bdl now in 260,have had a mtn rifle rem.,and a ruger and all three will shoot.Have took deer with the 100,125,120 and 140 gr bullets,from around a 50 yds to 450 yds and to me after taken deer with a lot of different calibers it is one sweet round.
I don't ue it all the time because I like to hunt with other rifles some too,for instance this past year I used a 308.270,and 25/06 to take deer.the longest shot was 270 yds with the 308 and if I had been useing the 260 it would have done just as good.
If tikka would come out with the 260 in the varmit model I would have one too.
Not saying the 260 is any better than any other deer caliber ,I just like it a lot.
