Jim, the 708 has been around since around 1981 I believe and quite popular it seems, though not and never will be as much as the 243/308/06/270s/30-30 BUT it seems to be growing more and more. The 260 seems to have it's 'niche' among us looneys, and growing among tac shooters, Lapua brass and brass from any 308 based round does not hurt...and it's flatter w/less recoil than an 08.
Jim, Wmart counts, but yes, never expect them to stock 260 at the current low demand levels.
No doubt Midway is not 'the barometer' of demand, but they do offer alot of choices, and I used it to id how many current viable choices are on the market currently, in 260 and 708.
santeerangerman - I reload most all I use but there could come a day where I don't, or those who inherit my guns...may shoot factory only. BTW, tell me about the 250 - had a hankering for one for many years now
Thanks guys.
