James B ,I have a Browning A bolt 260 caliber and love it .I bought the same rifle you just mentioned for my 12 year old son for Christmas this year.It is the Ruger All Weather MK11 bolt action with the stainless barrell.I put a Nikon Buckmaster Matte 3-9 X 40 scope on it and it looks great .I am a loyal fan of the 260 cal and reload with Nosler 125 gr partitions and Hornady 129 gr Interlocks .I have also had great success with Speer Nitrex 140 grain Grandslam (factory loads) as well.
