I’m starting to look for a 260 Rem for my boys. I’d prefer a model 700 but I’m open. Nothing heavy and not looking to spend custom rifle prices on this one. Thanks!
Depending on their age you may want to look into a compact Tikka. That’s what I ended up doing for my boy. He killed his first deer with it right after turning 7 a month ago. Plus side is I picked up a Hunter full size stock for it as well so he’s got a lifetime rifle
I found a Ruger Hawkeye compact in 260 Rem last year on Armslist for my boy. Sweet little shooter, took his first bull elk with it this year.
There’s a clean Rem model 7 in 260 on armslist right now in southern Oregon. Not sure if they’ll ship.
Why not a 6.5CM? More rifles and ammo available.
Thanks guys, I may have a Steyr coming up as an option too. I handload and like the 260 over the 6.5cm. I’m not a hater but I don’t get the fuss over it.
Thanks, I’m definitely open to a Tikka. I’ve only fired one of the tactical models and it was a great shooter. How is the recoil with them? Also, I cannot find any in stock in 260 (other than CTR).
