How much are you wanting to spend? In my experience with rifles:
Rem. 700 Mountain LSS in 260 - unbelievably horrible accuracy. I was told after I sold it Remington got the twist wrong, but I do not know.
Sako 75 Hunter in 260 - I kick myself for trading this gun.
Savage 110 in 270 - Early trade in my life and a very accurate POS.
My next 260 purchase will be a Cooper, just because I have always wanted one and can now afford it.

Thanks for all the input guys. This gun will probably be for my son to hunt with, I'm not looking to spend a ton honestly....and heck, I dont even really need it - more of a want than a need 
It's interesting to hear about the twist...I didn't know that. I personally have a mountain rifle in .280 and its a tack driver. I figured they would all be, didn't know they changed the twist. I'll have to do some more research. A model 7 would even be a nice little setup.
I am interested in hearing anyone else's experience with the Savage guns, particularly the package guns. If they are even remotely good, looks like a great deal to me for the price.
Thanks
