And the 6.5 Rem Mag, they put too slow of twist barrel and built it in the 18" barrel mod 600. They made it to shoot light weight bullets, if they would have built it with a faster twist and longer barrel it would have done a lot better than it did.

No doubt. Great round just came around 50 years too early.

Remington sucks - their marketing sucks, the R&D sucks, they have no idea what long range hunters/shooters want or need. Thats why none of their 260 offerings came with a twist rate fast enough to stabilize the high BC 6.5 bullets.

Edit: to sum it all up they are idiots and they suck. The 6.5 creedmoor never would have been necessary if Remington hadn't screwed the pooch on the 260.

Be interesting to know what led to Remington's downfall. The Sandy Hook law suit settlement coincided with their bankruptcy, but their decline started long before with a decline in quality and sales. I worked in several industries that self destructed after management turned to MBA wizkids for management abandoning groomed from within employees that understood the business. Look at Boeing, took a nose dive under management by business experts in the boardroom instead of aviation experts. Their Achilles Heel in the lawsuit was marketing, more MBA BS. Remington was sliced & diced with assets sold off to holding companies. Brand quality gets lost when the Wall Street sharks insert themselves into a business.
