This has been discussed. The 1-8" twist 260 is somewhat of a specialty item, appealing mostly to enthusiasts. What does Remington do? They only offer it in the Wal-Mart grade blued version. No SS version, no tactical/target version, even though those are the rifles that enthusiasts get all geeked up about.
I'm glad to see the SPS as an offering, but Remington keeps cutting the hamstrings out from under some of their ideas.
