1TN: are you planning to reload? The only reason I ask is that you mentioned something about finances and factory .260 ain't cheap. 7-08 is a bit cheaper, and if you want to shoot Prvi you can order it for about $17 per box. I don't know what you're planning to do with the rifle, but the inexpensive Prvi shoots great in my 7x57. As much as I like my .260, unless you're hand-loading you might want to give the 7-08 another look.
