[QUOTE="LR Lineman, post: 1182854, member: 94335"] To me the gains of a 6.5 Creedmore over a 260 Rem are minimal to non existent. If you reload, brass is much easier to come by for a 260 as it can be sized from 243 easily. Personally I use Lapua brass. But for either caliber I would recommend the Savage 12 LRP for a factory rifle (they chamber both in this model). I have had one in .260 Rem for about 4 years and have a couple thousand rounds through it. It's a heavy SOB but I've had great luck for accuracy in a factory gun. I've been getting .4 MOA @200 shooting Berger 140 HVLDs, CCI BR2, 41.7gr H4350, .015" jump running 2850 fps (velocity seems high according to the books but that's what my chrony says) and .3 moa with 142 Sierra MKs, CCI BR2, 46.0 gr H4831, .020" jump, running 2690 fps. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
