    Thanks, that's what Im thinking I just need to be convinced.
    I'm sure it's a great thing, I've seen a few good buys come up and I think they will be slow selling so but I'm waiting to pounce on the right thing.

    I've had 4 or 5 different .260 being Sako and Tikka they are the most accurate rifles I've owned and very nice to shoot, you won't regret getting one or a Creedmoor as they are very close fps wise

    Thanks , definitely leaning towards a .260.
    The thing with a Creedmoor is is supports the .260 by the variety or availability of more 6.5 projectiles.
    I'm aware of the relatively close performance and ballistics but I just don't want to fold to the Creedmoor trend.
