I also own a Rem 700 mountain rifle in .260 with a Bushnell 4200 on top. Like everyone else has said, it may be about the perfect deer gun. While I' ve only used mine on whitetails, I' ve heard of several people using .260s to take big elk bulls. So it is a very versatile rifle. No complaints from this owner. I usually get .5-.75 inch groups with the 140 core lokts. You won' t be disappointed!
