RE: Ruger M77 Compact .260
260Rem. is a good cartridge, but don't like those short barrels on the Ruger compacts.
They're only 16" or so. I'd rather have a Remington Model 7 in 260. The laminated stock is also better, and the rifle has a 20" barrel - ok.
Oops! Forgot, Remington quit chambering the laminated stock model in 260. But, they
still chamber it in the Rem. Model 7 with synthetic stock, and stainless barrel/action, with
the 20" barrel.
Now, the one I like best is the Rem. 700 LSS Mountain Rifle for a 260Rem. It is stainless
with laminated stock, and 22" barrel. It only approx. 6-1/2lbs. too. I have one in
270Win., and it's been a real good rifle - very accurate too.

Hunt? Generally hunt in Botetourt or Craig county.
