mighty fine.
260 Rem is a fine choice.
How long before you're able to scope it and try it out?
Best,

Nice looking stock on that one. An M70 in .260... that wouldn't suck...

That is a beauty!
Do they allow centerfire rifle hunting in Iowa now? When I was growing up there it was shotgun and rimfires only.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

If it shoots 1/3 as good as it looks the yotes are going to hate that thang. Great lookin rifle.

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear. Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession. www.wvcdl.org
