Well after rereading the original post as Brad suggested I would modify my recommendation of a model 70 Feather Weight in 30-06 to the same rifle in 6.5x55, 260 Remington, or 257 Roberts. Now that's for the new model Feather Weight, like them better than the pre 64, but, that's another discussion and opinion.
So Brad I just combined the Title of and the post.
