I'm thinking this will be my next purchase here at some point. Trying to figure out who actually makes this cal gun anymore, and which models are available. If I had my choice, it would be a Rem mountain rifle, LSS. But I don't think they make it anymore. (I can't even get on Rem's site the past two days to see what they make, no idea why ? it just times out for me)

Any suggestions? I want something light and more compact. Anyone know who is still making guns in .260, and also what models Remington is making?

Thanks

look on gunbroker.com awesome choice of a rifle good luck

Yeah, been on there. I'm sure I could eventually track down anything I want there. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what models are even available. Thanks

I know Savage makes it in the Light Weight Hunter. That is what I wanted but was to impatient to order it, so I bought a 308 that they had in stock. The Light Weight Hunter is a really nice gun, you have to put one in your hands, pictures dont do it any justice. Now that I have one in a 308 I really want one in a 260, darn the bad luck!

Thanks Jim. Yeah I was looking at Savage yesterday, and see that they offer the .260 in a number of rifles. That gun might be an option. I've never owned a Savage but heard good things about them in recent years.

Anyone know about their package guns, like this? Are they any good?

I also saw a Ruger M77 hawkeye in that caliber. I bought a 35 whelen in the m77 hawkeye and it has become my go to for the feel and accuracy. Love that rifle also has the mauser style bolt.

That looks like a Weather Warrior, I have one in a 30-06. It is a very good rifle! I didnt buy it as a package but I believe the package comes with a Nikon scope, it would be a very nice set up in my opinion.

I have this rifle but I don't believe Remington makes it in .260 any more. I don't know because their website is a mess. Excellent shooter and easy to load for.

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.

A Accustock is really not needed if it is bedded correctly and torqued to proper specs., a sythetic stock isnt going to move like a wood stock. It is just a selling point that is over rated by magazines, IMHO. I have a older package blued Model 110 270 with a accutrigger, that I bought at Wal-Mart, it came with a cheap Bushnell scope, which I eventually trashed. It shoots just as good if not better than my Weather Warrior 30-06 with a Accustock. There is absolutely no differences in the actions or barrels of the two. The only difference is in the stock, no accustock and it has a blind mag. No effects what so ever on the accuracy.
