what is a good price? the 260 is finding it's way onto the ammo shelves more and more around here. Good balistics for whitetail. 0 -
The .264/6.5mm .260 bullet has great sectional density and fine accuracy. Factory loads are loaded down though, and you can do much better with hand loading. A great White Tail round. If you go with a Ruger Mod. 77 Mk II expect a mushy 6lb. trigger, that you will likely want to replace. A Timney will set you back another $80 plus about $15-$20 for the smith. Is the price good enough to cover that? 0 -
I think i can get it for around 300, but not sure yet, i havent really meesed with the guy on it. Ok, thanks let me know 0 -
If I could get it for $300 I would do it. With a new trigger you are at about $400. Add a nice scope and you have a fine deer rifle, and maybe you won't hate that Ruger trigger as much as I do. 0 -
Craig Boddington(sp?)seems to be crazy about the round..I`ve seen articles with him using it,plus it is his wife`s round..I saw her in one of his african hunt articles...she killed several animals,of different sizes with it..a couple were pretty large,and at long range..218 0 -
In the 1950s, as a way to salvage the usability of some of those WWII jap 6.5 rifles, some were rechambered to .308 Winchester. Apparently it was a very easy rechambering, less of an effort than recutting to .257/6.6mm Roberts. Then, the cartridge was called the .263 Express. It was excellent then, and is now under the handle of ".260 Remington". 0
