There is a lot to like about those guns, wish they came in a left hand version........
Dogshooter are you planning on running the 123 gr Amax in your GF's gun? I remember you were very happy with that bullet.

We'll see.... she'll shoot 123 Scenars at the SRM this weekend, cause there isn't much time to get ready, and I know the Scenar load shoots sub-MOA to 600 outta a half dozen CTR .260s. When I get a chance, I'll let the rifle decide. She has a local buck Mule deer tag for 2nd season (she's never killed a deer, so she's pretty excited).... 140 Amax is the way I'm leaning. But if she runs hers the way she shoots the other CTR, I'd turn her lose inside 450 with just about any 120+ grain 6.5 bullet.
As a note on the 123 Amax vs. Scenar thing..... I think the Scenar is more consistently accurate across a broad range of variables like brass, COAL/BTO, powder, velocity, etc. I tend to shoot a lot more of the Amax, but only because they're 60% of the cost, and 95% of the accuracy. I shoot them both interchangeably... and the dope is only a click different at 600. Plus.... they do bad ugly things to vermin... and it ain't much fun, if goo don't get flung.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

Cool. There are a ton of great 6.5mm bullets out there it would take a very long time to try all of them.........

Tikka's with very little tuning, a YoDave spring and steel recoil lug, will run with a 700 that has been thoroughly 'smithed'. Plus a fancy bolt handle is a 5 minute install.

Ya I know not really cheap jus tight. I have looked at them at buds store a couple times and think I want one just haven't bought one. Can't really decide in 308 or 260 already have a 260 Tikka but in a hunter don't have a 308 right now though.

No reason to bother with the .308 unless you want to run subsonics and stuff.

The 260 probably the best bet

I have the .308 but only because I can load the 190s with Trail Boss and have a good subsonic load.
