[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1367363, member: 55944"] For manageable recoil and inherent accuracy in a 6.5 I would pick the 6.5x47 lapua. It is super easy to load really accurate for and there is very good info on the accurate shooter website about it. It doesn’t utilize a long action because it was designed for magazine feeding from a short. It will however be cheaper to shoot than the others because you will use less power. It your goal is just to shoot 1500yds you can do it with the 6.5x47. I would buy a bartlein or other high end cut rifled barrel and have it chambered by a gunsmith instead of buying a prechambered blank from the bargain priced barrel sellers. [/QUOTE]
