I intend getting a dedicated stalking rifle after having lugged by Varmint barrelled .308 T3 + high mag scope and mod round the Scottish Hills for a week.
My thoughts are drifting toward something a little less common, namely the .260 rem (otherwise known as the 6.5-08), and I was wondering what peoples experiences of them were.
I gather the 6.5mm bullets have a high bc so are good at longer ranges but what are they like at sensible deer ranges?
Ideally I'd be using something in the 120gr-140gr range.
