[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 896143, member: 22069"] I have zero experience with any of the three rifles you mention, so I will only comment on the chambering. Unless you intend to go with a short action, I would take the 6.5x55 over the .308 or .260. The Swede will outperform both the .308 and the .260 if housed in a modern action and loaded accordingly. Lapua brass for the Swede is also quite a bit less expensive than Lapua .260 brass and about the same as Lapua .308 brass. With either the Swede or the .260, make sure the rifle you choose has an 8 or 8.5 rifling twist. An 11.25 twist or faster is also a good idea for the .308. [/QUOTE]
