6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

What rifle did you end up going with? I'm a big fan of the 260 and have had one since it was introduced in 1997.

Remington 700 Mountain wood/blued. I’m a 700 collector but love a Tikka just as much.

Nice gun, Remington has made some great guns over the years. That one probably has the 1 in 9 twist but will handle the mid weight bullets quite well. Mine is a lefty Tikka and it's been a great gun too.

I think it will make my 23rd 700….and counting. I seen a 260 Tikka stainless hunter I wanted on GB awhile back. Still kicking myself for not pursuing it. Can’t get a Tikka 260 anymore. Had a chance to pick up a laminate one as well. Several missed 260 opportunities!

Will there be any pics in here for next season, or has everybody migrated to 6/22?

I’ll be rocking 130 TMKs in an 18” 6.5 creed for any state that requires .243 min or I need range my 223 can’t make.

Most likely, and no the vast majority of hunters are still discovering the 6.5 cartridges. Rokslide is a special place for special folks. Ask people what calibers they are using at the trailhead. If they say anything under a 6.5 for elk, or 243 for deer, I would bet good money they have a Rokslide account.
