Basdjs: I was planning to get the .260 in a Tikka T3 Hunter stainless bolt action. I was going to use it for deer here and antelope or mulies if I ever get the chance to hunt out west. The MPBR around 300 yards would probably make it a nice rifle for opn country.
I was leaning toward getting the BLR in .308 since I already have a lot of ammo for it. I don’t intend to put scope on it so the accuracy and ballistics are probably inconsequential. I am figuring it would be used within 75 yards. I tend to hunt thick cover and I like to track in the snow so quick target aquisition and follow up shots would be this rifles job. Right now, I am using a 60+ year old Winchester 94 in .30-30 for these trips. It fits well in a backpack. It was my father’s rifle so I hate to beat it up in bad weather when I am sleeping in a tent. A stainless BLR could fill this role nicely.
