I have been thinking of buying a FTR Model 12 in .308 and having a .260 barrel replacing it for hunting. I can use the .308 barrel on my other gun or sell it. Then I real think I could just buy the LRP in .260 and be done with it. Blacked out, 26" barrel and the caliber I want. Doing research I hear they are not worth their money. Opinions needed. Yeah I know, but I want to hear from owners or others with experience. TNX
