6.5 Swede here too. Pic the cartridge before the action length. A long action is what, about 3/8" longer than a short action and few ounces heavier in equal designs? Not enough to change up cartridge choice for me.

No your right but just prefer the short action, although if I went with the T3 it would have to be a Swede now!

Seems like the WSM and 6.5 would be a good pairing.

I've owned/own several 260s including the T3 sporter. I've also owned the grendel, 65CM, and 6.5x47L. Besides the anemic grendel, the rest are excellent and interchangeable IMO.
The T3 Sporter 260 was an excellent rifle. I'd highly recommend it. It was suprising light too.
