Adding a 260 Remington to the safe

[TexasLife]

The savage is listed as a 1:8 twist

now to get winchester to update their 9 to an 8 in 264wm!

I didn’t know it was available in an AR either, thanks for the heads up! But I live in NY state so it’s just easier to go with a bolt gun (though I do have one AR in 5.56 as a night rig for predators and one in 300 blackout for youth hunters to use, they’re just….New Yorkified)

might not find 1 in a fully built or just a complete upper, but there are many mfgr's that offer 260 for ar's. i'll add a pic later.

I have shot the 120 and 140 gr in my Ruger 77RSI 260 and both grouped great. Ended up using the 140gr NBT for deer hunting and it has performed flawlessly.

I was asked why I wouldn’t get a “more common” cartridge, my reply is that I like to be different (and this way, no one at camp can ask me for ammo lol!)

Welcome aboard

A new addition to the gun safe is always a plus.

When it comes to being a bit different , I’m king of that. I have no worries of someone bumming ammo off of me when hunting. I’m possibly the only person in my entire state that hunts with some of my calibers

Some family and I went up to camp for a week, one cousin only brought 2 rounds for his 30-30......he missed both shots haha. Ammo is expensive and I wasn't loading for the caliber at the time.

Did he see a big shooter buck with his empty gun?

Welcome aboard! I noted you like the less common cartridges. I think there are only 3 or 4 of us who favor the old 300 HH. There is a beauty of a pre 64 model 70 at Shed Horn Sports in Ennis, 300 HH. At a good price. I think that would fit nicely in your safe!

Boy that’s a cool store….

And welcome aboard from a fellow NY’er!

Never had a 260, but there is still time left in the day.
