[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1100743, member: 91188"] I'm just about sold on the 6.5 Sherman. I've been reading a lot here. I just finished reading all 54 pages of a thread on 260 vs 6.5-06. And several other threads, short and long. You keep mentioning the performance of your 6.5 and I am very interested. I want a 6.5mm of some sort. A short action would be nice, but it just doesn't look like I can get what I want without going to the short-fat magnums. (No free lunch, it would seem. I want a rifle that hits like a 416 Rigby, shoots as flat as a 7mm STW, kicks like a 223 Rem, weighs about 5 lbs, and costs about $300. But this is the real world. :rolleyes: ) Standard (30-06 length) action would be fine. That gets me looking at your wildcat. AND I already have a Kimber 84L 25-06 and a Savage 110 30-06. Either action might get re-barreled in the not-too-distant future. :D I really don't use the 30-06 and have considered selling it. And if the 6.5 does what it should, I probably won't have much use for a 25-06 after I get it. [/QUOTE]
