As a matter of fact, I did notice.
It was my understanding of your OP that you were selling the '06 to fund the 6.5; evidently that isn't exactly the case. If you want a 6.5 then buy whichever one suits you best, be it the Cooper, Fierce, Tikka, etc. At the end of the day they'll all kill deer. The only difference in any of the rifles on your list is a name and a thicker or thinner stack of Ben Franklins. For my money, I'd buy the Tikka or the Vanguard and put really good glass on it and be happy.
It's funny this came up though. I was having a discussion yesterday with my buddy that runs the local pawn shop. He has a Savage in 6.5; he wants to take home a Mossberg in 7mm-08. He asked me what I thought, and I asked him what was the difference? In this area, you don't shoot much over 200 yards; anything from .243 to 300 Winchester will fit the bill and kill whitetail deer graveyard dead, provided the man behind the rifle makes a good shot. The deer won't be able to tell the difference. I went on to tell him, pick what you like and use it. I'm an '06 guy. My dad uses a 25-06 and loves it; best friend has a 7mm Mag that he swears by; one friend uses an ancient Marlin 30-30 to fill his freezer every year. The bottom line is, you should pick what you like and are confident in, and use it.
My apologies for side-tracking your thread, OP.
