I have always wondered if the 260 Rem would have taken off at all if not for that article in Field & Stream 25 years ago? Maybe with 3" box and 8 twist... But neither happened... Add top grade ammo at reasonable price, etc. etc. As posted earlier, the CM success was the "whole package"... DF Oh nooooo, it was all hype designed to appeal to flat brim cap wearers.

I have one of the MRC campfire 260's with a 22" fluted 8 twist that I think SAS had them run. Works well once I tweaked the mag box a bit to get it to feed slick. The action is a bit heavy but it shoots well eith.140 vlds loaded out to around 2.95". Sometimes I think of selling it because I'm still more of a creedmoor fan but it's hard to let a 1/2 moa rifle go.

Looks like a lotta scope for a bush rifle, Or ... 6x MQ on EGW inclination. 10 Mils on the windshield,do nice thangs with 162's crowding 2600fpsfrom it's 20" spout(BLR's wear dismal primary and secondary extraction). It slaps THE schit outta 1000yd+ steel and is a Mind Fhuqk in general. I do LOVE Sleepers!..................(grin)
