.260 Remington Rifles

Buying .260 Remington Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 10 rifles in .260 Remington, and 3 are available today. Victrix of Italy makes most of them, with the Sako TRG 22 and Savage 110 and 12 also listed. The .260 Remington is the .308 case necked down to 6.5mm; it is valued in Australian target and long-range shooting for its low recoil and high-ballistic-coefficient bullets, and it also makes a capable deer rifle.

These are centrefire bolt-action rifles, Category B in NSW. You need a current licence in that category and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each rifle; since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years.

The most affordable rifles are the Savage 110 Predator at $2,079 and the Savage 12 Long Range Precision from $2,772, both available. Because most of the listing is precision target rifles, the typical price is about $8,700. The top of the range is the Victrix Gladio V from $12,559.

  • Prices$2,079–$12,559; about $8,700 typical.

For hunting foxes and deer, the Savage 110 Predator is the light, affordable choice. Target shooters starting in long-range or F-class can begin with the heavier Savage 12 Long Range Precision. Serious competition shooters usually move to a chassis or match rifle such as the Victrix Challenge T, Venus or Gladio, or the Sako TRG 22.
