So far no, but one can hope since it was aquired by Remington.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Welcome to GBO ;D There are no Handis in a 6.5mm of any kind. Your only options is a re-bore from a smaller bore (like a .223) or a stub project. Both are expensive some where around $300 + a donor barrel. The closest would be a 7mm-08 or .243, which are available. Good Luck and Good Shooting.

We can hope but its a far cry, as Remington barely makes any bolt guns chambered in that...  :-\  Damn fine caliber though...
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

I would buy one in .260 immediately if they were to offer it - it is one a few cartridges that I would really like to have.  But I would be shocked if they were to offer it .............
Thanks, Dad, for taking me into the great outdoors.

It was a 300WSM, that's the barrel I used for a stub donor.
