Those Ruger Swedes are highly regarded, never seen a Ruger in Stainless - in the 77, but the blued ones sure seem to impress from all accounts, though as the 260, it too is no longer mfg. to my knowledge. Maybe a ltd. run down the road will be made.
For those wanting less expensive top quality brass, and throating w/o COL issues run thru the mag, it's hard to beat as it handles thru 160s w/o a hiccup.
Today's bullet technology OTOH gives high performance 6.5s in 120-130 which run fine in short actions.
Btw, Butch, always nice seeing your art in fine execution. On the 6x47, what is your current hunting bullet? 8 ROT?
Thanks.
