Was a period where the quality of the barrels, especially the .260s, was hit and miss and a few just would not shoot. Sounds like the issue has been resolved but I think the odd dud still turns up.
My .308win with a 16" barrel shoots very well with Hornady Whitetail ammo and handloads. They will take a bit more discipline to shoot well due to the light weight and thin fast to heat up barrels if you're use to a heavier rifle.
I also find the very round profile of the stock up front lends itself to in stability on sandbags. But I'm biased I prefer a slightly flatter bottomed fore end.
