If your strictly limited to 2.8" COL due to the action (Rem short) then the Creedmore would be the choice, if you have more room in the action then the 260 Rem. The Creedmore theoretically should be mo' bettah due to the long neck but only the highest end shooter's/handloaders will notice the difference.
A friend has a Creedmore on a Rem short action I have a 260 on a Savage short action.....not a dimes difference between the two other than the Rem action has bullet constraints where the Savage does not.
