[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1311109, member: 23070"] I was in the exact same boat a couple years back. I really wanted the 6.5x47 lapua just cause it intrigued me as well. After speaking to my gunsmiths, and a few experienced buddies they told me all to go with 260. Rem as I had little experience in precision shooting, still practicing on reloading, easier to find the components plus factory ammo if ever needed. My 260. Rem is has a 26" benchmark 1:8 twist barrel pushing 140HVLD's 2885, and the 140 hybrids at 2830 and 2910 without any pressure signs. The rifle is the best shooting rifle I've ever seen and I'm extremely happy with the 260. Rem. 2 complaints about it, the hybrids shoot best .005 though off lands leaving me to single feed rifle, so overall length of cartridge can be a hassle, and #2 I'm still curious about the 6.5x47!! Lol So I decided to start piecing together a 6x47lapua and I feel so much better now lol [/QUOTE]
