I recently bought a Savage Model 11 in 7-08. The .260 was on my short list, but it and the 7-08 perform similarly until you get to very long range, and that's not something that I have a strong interest in, but if I did, I would have gone with the .260. I opted for the 7-08 so I could go to heavier grain bullet if I wanted to.
I like Savages, own 3 of them (4 if you count an old 12 gauge). As for those packages, I noticed that they do not come with the accustock, so I have to wonder what else is different about them -- they are not simply a Model 11FCNS with a scope. They are a somewhat different gun, perhaps an older version being clearanced. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of.
