My wife has a Remington 260 and it's sweet little rifle.I killed a deer this past season and it preformed very well,although I have not tried it a longer ranges.I have it sighted in dead on at 100 yds,most of our shots are less than 100 yds.
I really like the one we have(Model Seven),it's a youth model because of my wife's small frame.

I also have the 260 remington model 7 youth for my fiance'. awsome little gun. very little recoil. I shot a small buck with it this year at 280 yards. It dropped right in its tracks. When she doesnt go hunting, I usually take that gun with me, instead of my 308.

260 and 7mm-08 are almost the same,you'll have a larger selection of bullit weights in the 7mm than in the 260

As similar to what btr568 alluded to, I would go for the 7mm-08. If you are set on the .260, it is a great caliber for your needs. I would also consider a .25-06.
