I have an opportunity to buy a remington 700 mountain rifle in 260 remington. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with one and what you think the approximate value is? He is asking $500

If it ain't beat to hell, I'd jump on it!

Is it a DM?

It's my dad who has it. I will pick it up from him this weekend. Lets talk scopes that will really bring it together. I am thinking leupold vx3 2.5-8. What say you?

My wife shoots that same rifle, it has a 3.5x10-40 Leup VX3 and she loves it. I like the idea of a 2.5-8 though!

Sounds like a great buy for $500, I would also think about a 6X42, the 2.5-8X36 is one of the nicest scopes they make and a good match for a 260 Rem. The 1 in 9 twist they have on them will stabilize all but the very longest of 6.5 mm slugs. Nice buy.

That's what's on my 7-08 MR. It's a nice match. If you've not yet used Talley LW's- this is the time! smile

A Swaro Z3 3-9x36 would be nice too, I bet, but a lot more money. I've got the next size up on a Kimber and it is a heck of a riflescope.


The CENTER will hold.

That, or a FXII 6x36. And I ain't even a Leupold guy.

Then, take your Dad out for a NICE meal!

My favorite 700 of all time. 2.8-8 is perfection on it.

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

While I'm no fan of the .260, even I would buy this in a heartbeat!

As far as a scope for it goes, either the Leupold 2x7. or the 2.5x8 would work for me (and does on my two .280 Mt rifles.

Either case, you'll love that one!!

Respects,

Richard
