The Remington 700 Mountain in .260 Remington was a natural pairing: a lightweight backcountry rifle in a lightweight, accurate cartridge. The .260 Rem, introduced by Remington in 1997, necks down the .308 Win case to 6.5mm, producing a short-action cartridge with exceptional accuracy and mild recoil. Combined with the Mountain's sub-6.5-pound weight, this is an ideal timber and mountain deer rifle. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .260 Rem Capacity: 4 Year introduced: 1997, USA Weight: 104 oz Overall length: 41.5" Status: Discontinued Intended use: Hunting
