Went to pawn shop and come away with model 16 in 260 .

Nice rifle. What did you pay for it?

[Stumpkiller]

Good caliber. The Savage has a proper throat, OAL fit and twist so you can squeek 50 fps over the Creedmoor. It's like a 6.5 Creedmore Improved ;-)

Unfortunately, you will not find a lot of factory ammunition available. But LOTS of great brass and bullets for shooting connoisseurs. It's a reloader's caliber. Goes back to the Ken Waters .263 Express from 1955 (.243 WIN necked up to .263"). If only he'd chosen the .264"

Midsouth has 260 PRIME brass 50.00 for 100

I give 500.00 out the door used with Talley mounts on it .

[Robinhood]

Fair price.
