Someone said that the choice would best be seen in the context of the combination of both gun and cartridge. Well, I want to find a workable (if not the best) cartridge for what I want first. Depending upon which one I pick my first choices in rifles are one of the CZ rifles, a Howa or the Winchester Classic Featherweight. I may consider other brands as well if they make a better gun in the one or two choices of caliber I choose, though I probably will want to be as close to $500 as I can and probably no higher than $600-650 so that limits things somewhat. I will probably consider all major makes in that price limit that also make the caliber I select. From what I'm reading here, and some of what I was starting to think before, I think I'm leaning towards the 6.5x55 which would pretty much rule out the Howa since they don't chamber it in that caliber.
