Please enlighten me.

Because if you try and buy a rifle in 260 all you can find is Creedmore, just driven by the sales people really. Wanting everyone to chase after the black ( fashion )
Sure if you dig your toes in they might order one in but I found it bloody hard to get something off the shelf.
I even emailed Bergara in Spain to try and get an "off the shelf " HMR in 260. They told me nothing in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.

The price for ammo ( overeseas ) apparently is another driver, but hey if I owned a ammo company ( hornady ) I would push my brand over a rifle companies ( Remington ) too.

They are both out of favour now anyways 260 SLR will be the new black soon
