Well I went into a Pawn Shop this afternoon. Lo and behold they had a box and a half of the Remington 260 Premiers with 120 gr Noslers and another box of once fired 260 brass. Made 'em an offer on the whole bunch of 20 bucks and they took it. Guy told me they have had it sitting in the case for almost a year and it was time to get rid of it. Made me happy..and them too I guess. I quite often do really good at pawn shops. Came real close to buying a Rem 788 in 243 too. Had a 3x9 Nikon on it and was in pretty good condition but I already have one or so..in 243. If it hadda been a 22-250..well I woulda brung it home. I've never gotten a rifle that was shot out..either at a yard sale or pawn shop. I had a fellow bring me a Weatherby in 257 WM a few days ago. He had told me it just wouldn't shoot and he thought about replacing the bbl...Well I told him to bring it around and I would clean the bore..clean. So I cleaned it with my Foul Out. I'll guarantee you it'll shoot now. That thing was really messed up in the bore. Now, you can see the rifling. Previously..the bore really did look shot out
