According to Remington's site (I know, I know) the new 260 chambering is not offered in the SS SPS, only the std blued model.

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.
Now with even more aplomb

It amazes me they designed the cartridge and pretty much limited it to a model 7 rifle for hunting? Think they would throw it in a 5 r milspec at the minimum for paper punchers and stand hunters?

At some point you need to shoot it rather than talk about it....

I'm a bit jealous. I recently picked up a Salvage 16 in 260 on a whim for a truck gun. My son loved my Model 7 and I didn't have the heart to take it from him.
Congrats.

Remington did make a cdl sf in .260 for one year also , which I am lucky to own one . It shoots 1/2""- 3/4" groups with factory federal 120gr. Ballistic tip , so I never found a reason to reload for it.
