I agree with your comparison to the .270 shooting 130's.

My little .308 is within a few ounces of what the .260 is weight wise so its easy to run them head to head. Component wise they are put together with a lot of the same...stocks, barrels, scopes, and rings are the same. The .260 is only a bit heavier because of the bottom metal and the barrel having a smaller hole in it. The Templar action on the .260 is probably a bit heavier than the the Remington is on the .308 also, but not much.

Recoil was much more managable with the .260, especially when I was shooting prone.

I plan on doing a write up on both rifles, head to head.

Thanks for the intel! Looking forward to putting together those Scirocco's!

Luck....is the residue of design...
