Nope, your not the only one. I'd love to see a factory rifle offering in a 6.5-06. I dont own one, but I love the 25-06. The 6.5 just makes better sense for longer range shooting due to the superior BC's. I"m still debating that when the time comes to rebarrel my 25, If I wanna go the 25 ackley route, or the 6.5-06 route. I love the quarterbore, but I would like the advantage of the 6.5mm bullet. Someone needs to get on the ball here!!
