Having owned the 6.5x284 and .260 Rem for years, I'd agree with those recommending the 6.5 Creedmoor. More rifles to choose from and definitely a much better selection (and better priced) of factory ammo if you're ever in a pinch or just want to try a new bullet. A bit less recoil, too.

I have converted.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
