[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1235478, member: 1521"] I don't know anything about Tikkas. But I would choose 6.5x55 over the others, with 140gr bullets, and at least 26" barrel. For lighter bullets, in 26cal, a little shorter barrel, I'd reach for 6.5x47L. Opinion only: Lapua already struck a great balance in 6.5x47L and 123-130gr bullets. It makes no sense that they would put out the mis-balanced 6.5CM, nor continue with the under powered 260. They should let the 6.5x47L carry the load, winning like mad, while putting out 260AI, -until it takes off like the next rock star! They should have put out 6Dasher(6br AI) for that matter.. [/QUOTE]
