[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 536727, member: 29890"] If your dead set on one of those three my vote goes to the T3 in 260, because the 6.5x55 has an odd ball bolt face .480" and if you ever wanted to go back to a standard cal .473" bolt face it may not hold or eject the round, as for the ruger, everyone I've dealt with the action is sloppy and feels gritty and the 6.5 CM is harder to get reloading supplies. If 2700 is all you want they are fine but you may want to look at the savages or coopers in 6.5x284 and get 3000+, since its a hunting rifle barrel life should not be an issue and some may disagree but 2000 rounds is doable with a 6.comdx284 when used just for hunting, I like about all 26 cals but the 6.5x284 and 6.5-06ai are my favorites.
