I owned one of these last year and it was a real shooter. Was occasionally banging steel out to 1200 yards but mostly at the 700-100 yard range. I got on the 6.5 CM kick and traded it off for a 24 inch Tikka CTR. It’s held it’s own but I’m still really partial to the 260. The 260 I traded came back in the gun store today and I can get it back for about 400 less than I paid for it. Still have dies and brass and a lot of .264 bullets. I’m planning on a 3-18x44 scope I’ve got to go on it.
I had every intention of buying the 300 win mag in a Rem mil spec but don’t like adding weight to stock or getting beat to death trying to send 100 rounds down range in a good outing.
What’s are your thoughts on the 2 rifles. Drawback is 20 inch barrel on the CTR. Micro Bastard muzzle brake is still on it. It fits good and I like the 10 round mag. I’ve chrinographed the 260 before with Hornady eldx at average of 2780 FPS. Could drop to a 130 or 120.
The 300 win mag gets me more energy down range but at a high cost to an old man repairing from a rotator cuff injury. I plan on taking one of these to a western Antelope hunt this year which most rifles I own now will do the job. Just looking for some more input.
