New Rifle for my Kid

[Cossack]

Of the 3 you mention 243, 260 and 7/08 ( I shoot all three plus the 280) the 7/08 seems most logical. Not much recoil difference between 260 and 7/08 plus more selection from available components and ammo. It's unfortunate but judging from sales, new chamberings in short mags that compete for sales and poor public acceptance of only other commercial 6.5 previously offered (264 Mag) I predict the 260 is headed for premature obsolescense. Too bad.
