I owned a nice cz in 6.5×55 to bad it was stolen but since then I've came along way with my knowledge in ballistics and reloading so I have decided that my next 6.5 will be a 6.5-06 with a 40 degree improved shoulder.
None of those reasons register with me, or probably many other hunters who shoot 40 rounds a year in a hunting rifle.its not just because its a short action, but because short actions give you more options, more aftermarket, better detachable magazines to feed from, more rifles to chamber it into, the ability to make ammo from cheaper .308 brass... all these things go along with "because its a short action" and they are all very good reasons
wow... you actually admit to watching that crap so much you actually know this?
Define affordable?I watch about three hours of TV per week. The Walking Dead and Big Bang are on my DVR. I occasionally watch a football game.
What is the best modern rifle in 6.5x55 that is at an affordable price? I can't find one locally at any of the LGS at any price. My Swede is sporterized and a beautiful gun and I would like a "beater" in the same caliber.
OK, maybe, but if you can shoot 2 MOA or less you're probably not going to miss any animals.well, for those of us actually like to practice and get good at shooting, or enjoy shooting as a hobby, not just a means to hunt, then the reasons i gave were all very valid
Tikka T3 Hunter. Can be had for around $600 in some parts of the U.S. Mine is a laser beam.I watch about three hours of TV per week. The Walking Dead and Big Bang are on my DVR. I occasionally watch a football game.

Of course, only gunsmiths build rifles in .260 long action....
And maybe Tikka... When I looked at Tikkas a few years ago I seem to recall that they only had one action (long), so you may be able to buy an off the shelf long-action 260 Remington.
