don't lose the bolt though mags are not soo much of a biggie although you shouldn't lose ether in the bush carry it closed with an empty chamber and a full mag that ways its safe as but quick to load a round if need be and guess what the fuckin bolt cant fall out if you knock the release

Why is the 260 better than 6.5x55? I'm looking at a 6.5 for roe deer and moose over here, seems to be the done thing. An explanation in layman's terms would be appreciated if you have a second. Cheers.

Would have thought a 6.5x55 would be a miles better choice in Scandinavia just because you can get (or you used to be able to) cheap training ammo from the FSR guys
