I always hear of how the 260 is fading away. The 7mm-08 is more common but still not found everywhere. If you reload it's a non issue. I loved my 7mm-08 and only sold it because it was collecting dust and a young hunter needed a good gun. It was a fantastic gun, light and easy to carry, extremely accurate and would knock over deer as well as my 30-'06 did. Either one would be a great deer gun with 120'-140's in the 260 and 139-145's in the 7mm. I think the 7mm-08 will outlast the 260 and there really is no perceivable difference.
