I know what you mean. I have a love-hate relationship with the 6.5x55. I've owned four, and traded off every one of them. But I end up buying one again. All Tikkas, The only one that I regret selling was an M595. The wood and heft were fabulous. I guess the closest I'll get to it is a T3 Hunter.
Safe Shooting!
