Best,
GWB I got one, and it's so accurate that my buddy got one just like it. They'll both go five for five on clay pigeons at 300 metres.

1TN: are you planning to reload? The only reason I ask is that you mentioned something about finances and factory .260 ain't cheap. 7-08 is a bit cheaper, and if you want to shoot Prvi you can order it for about $17 per box. I don't know what you're planning to do with the rifle, but the inexpensive Prvi shoots great in my 7x57. As much as I like my .260, unless you're hand-loading you might want to give the 7-08 another look.

I have a 110E in 7mm RM. Bought it from someone who got it off the used rack. So I am at least the 3rd owner. Shot great just the way I bought, but I bedded it and changed to a Timney trigger. With good reloads and good technique it is consistent MOA or better. I have thought about a new stock and a new barrel, but don't see the need as of now.
I just recently got another 110E in 243win, so it is the long action, which means I can convert it to whatever I would want, although I was actually wanting a 243. May perk it up at some point, but I need to shoot and see if and what is needed. None are pretty, but I don't take them dancing, I use them to get dirty and make holes in animals and paper.

1tnhunter - Tikka action (IMO) is smoother than the Savages. Shroud - no opinion. Same with recoil lug and stock. Mags for both are overpriced except the Savages are metal and not "polymer" i.e. plastic. Homesteader

4th.Point - ref: groups w/ .375 Ruger. Considering the rounds power and the lite-weight of the Savage my hats off to you for shooting those smallish groups. Homesteader

I have owned them and they were accurate, but that is where the good stopped.
Every one I've been around has had feeding issues and some of the newest ones are so rough I thought I was breaking something when I ran the bolt.
They ain't exactly cheap any more either.

The only thing is, the OP is looking for a .260. If Remington gaffs and doesn't bring out the SPS in .260, outside of the M7, Sako, Cooper, MRC, and then moving on into the custom market at multiples of the Savage price, Savage is about the only game in town (at least on the "new" market).

Rev,
I don't reload but plan to in the very near future. I'd suggest that you stick the new gun money into a reloading setup and get the rifle later. Loading your own makes all the centerfires you currently have much more fun and interesting. I have a Savage 10 with an aftermarket 260 Rem barrel. Not as good looking as my other rifles, but I really dig the safety operation and location. Someone earlier mentioned gas handling. This past summer I blew a primer (not paying enough attention when working up a load) and didn't realize it until I went to work the bolt. Had to have the ejector replaced, but other than that all was well. I'm seriously considering getting a second barrel for mine in 358 Hoosier.

Mrs. Tide likes hers pretty good. She took her first buck with it a couple seasons ago. It is a varmint setup in .270 WSM. I load 110 grain TTSX's for her and sucks the life out of whitetail creatures. Accuracy is good, and it does what she wants. I actually bought that rifle on closeout, and if memory serves, I paid less than 500 for it.

Nah, God shoots a .275 Rigby.

atta boy Mrs. Tide! thats kind of interesting, I didn't know they did a heavy barrel 270 wsm. I don't think they catalog it anymore, like I mentioned I bought it on closeout. She was looking for a heavy barreled setup in a light kicking cartridge just north of a 243. I was looking for a 25-06, honestly, but wasn't having any luck locating one at a price I could stand to pay at the time. I ran up on the 270 WSM and decided it was close enough for government work, so to speak. There was, and maybe still is, some discussion as to whether the WSM round is any better than the WCF round, but it didn't matter for my purposes. I don't know how many deer she has taken with it, but I've taken a couple, and Tide Jr. killed one with it during the 2012 season. I also bumped off a feral donkey with it one season, using the 110 grain TTSX. It worked like a lightning bolt, BTW. That rifle has dings, scratches and other hunting marks, but she still reaches for it when she plans to get serious about bumping off a deer.

Here is another one she bumped off with it, I think, in 2012.

I had an old 110 years ago in .270 Win. The old gun shot great. We used to put water jugs on an opposing hillside and see how far away we could hit them. I wish I still had that gun. I would highly recommend one to anyone looking for an American made tack driver, without breaking the bank.
