That it is, but only available in 260 and 308, in which case for a guy that doesn't reload, I'd pass on it.

260 requires either hand-loading, or deep pockets for ammo from a custom loading company like copper creek. I honestly have a hard time recommending anyone get into this game with a 308 these days, it's a fairly large disadvantage as compared to 6mm and 6.5mm's. Does it do the job, yes, but it is a bit harder to compete with.
