So if this guy wants a light rifle and the .260 is capable of taking the list of critters he listed. I would also include the .257 Bob in this discussion.
The only thing that a .257 Bob has going for it compared to a .260 Rem is nostalgia - a .260 Rem will do everything a .257 Bob will do, and the .260 has a number of advantages over the .257 Bob (e.g., heavier bullets for larger game like the possible elk, bullets with higher BCs). Absent a strong personal attachment to the .257 Roberts or a lifetime supply of .257" bullets stored away, there isn't any reason to choose a .257 Bob over a .260 Rem.
