I have had a .25-06 (RU77 V), which I never should have sold (Fiddleback grain, end to end, MOA out of box with reloads - not with factory). Wonderful caribou (open plains) gun.

I currently have a Rem 725 SA .260 - originally .244. Also a very nice MOA shooter. With not inconsiderable work to make it that way.

I also have a Rem 700 in .243- also with considerable work to make it MOA.

I'd go with the 6.5 Creed in your place.
