[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 3054809, member: 47425"] Gotta go with the 6.5 Needmore - it will kill everything from field mice to African Elephants at up to 9000 yds, kicks like a 22 and barrel life is near 50000. Sorry, just couldn't help myself,🤣 cousin and I were just talking yesterday about some 6.5cm owners even still today saying their 6.5 would do anything a 300Winmag could do and other similar completely ignorant comments. Seriously though, while not really a target rifle perse, even with 140s and heavier, my fave 6.5 is the 264 WinMag hands down. If I ever buy another and specifically for what you asked, it will be a 6.5x55 Swede or RPM (a cousin in VA has an RPM that is shooting, I think mostly 1/4"- 1/3" groups with several loads, it is low recoil and has plenty of speed /power, he may comment at some point as he is a member) [/QUOTE]
