My go to gun is a Rem. 700 .260. I also have a BAR 30-06 that hasn't seen any action in 4 years. Nothing wrong with the 06 but the .260 is a sweet shooter. Quarter sized groups or less @100yds., low recoil and dead deer.........hard to go back to the BAR. Just bought my son a Rem. 700 7mm-08........jury is still out on it.
