the site sucks for looking up guns, do they offer any as a factory option?

I am pretty sure they don't. Savage offers both.

What are you asking? If they make a 260? Or a 6.5 Creedmore? In what configuration? Varminter, sporter, etc?

I take that back, they do! A 260 anyway, look here.

Was that gibberish or what?

Right now they just make a model 7 in .260. It has a 20" barrel. Not exactly a good starting point for long range tactical shooting. They missed the boat with the 6.5's IMO.

the funny thing is 260 is their cartridge, and they FAIL hard on making any...

Yup...shame too, as a 700 VLS with 26" 1:8 barrel and/or 700 AAC-SD with 20" 1:8 barrel chambered in 260 would probably be big sellers.

They used to make a .260 with a heavy barrel. They were ahead of the market and dropped it. They couldn't sell them. Now that the market has caught up, Remington is slow to move.

They are busy making precision long range rifles like that 6.8 spc they did a couple years ago. Cutting edge.
