It appears that Oldslowdog is running the M4 bottom metal and Pat is running the M5 which may account for a weight difference.

So, after some additional time, any conclusions? For elk at 0-500 yds, go with the .308 155 Scenar or 260 130 VLD?

I was sitting around just the other day, thinking about a new deer rifle that would fall in between a .243 and a .308. Something shooting about 130 gr bullets. The .260 might just be the ticket.

It is understandable that the 4s is getting all the attention these days, but both the .308 with 155 Scenars, and the .260 with a 130 Berger are still quite capable performers at typical Western ranges!

Everyone knows the .308 sucks, I will dispose of it if you send it to me. I love the .308 and have just started playing with the .260. Great stuff! Good Shooting!
