As far as the .260 goes.....I have the gun you do and it would be the last centerfire I would part with (I would not be afraid to use it on any North American animals, save the big bears with the right bullets). They have killed boat loads of moose in Europe with 6.5X55s - the .260 will do just fine.

I did the same thing 12 years ago and have taken several hunts with the proceeds since - and have not regretted it one bit.

FWIW I would keep a 22LR and the 22-250 with the 260.
