For the better part of two decades, I used mainly 30-06s,270s, and 7mags for deer hunting. A few years ago, however, a buddy turned me on to Remington' s 260 as I was looking for a rifle for my boy. I have to say, I have been very impressed with this caliber on deer (haven' t used it on anything else), now my son and I both carry 260s deer hunting and I leave the ' 06s to bear and boars. I was wondering if anybody else had any experience with the 260 and what you all thought about it? Ballistically, they are right up there with the 7mm-08s and even .308s, but recoil is considerably lighter than the " traditional" deer guns.

Anyway, I' d like to hear what you all think.
