Crap!! I had the 6.5 itch and ended up buying a MRC X2 LH in 6.5 CM a few weeks ago. Unfortunately during the first trip to the range it failed to feed and eject and I sent it back for repairs yesterday. If I knew this was coming out, I would have waited. The weight sounds perfect and you can't beat the smoothness and accuracy of a Tikka for the money. Heck, I might still buy one and sell whichever one I don't take a liking to.
