With long range target shooting as even a remote possibility with deer and varmints most commonly hunted the 6.5 is by far the best option. If it were primarily for elk then I MIGHT lean towards 7-08.
but my Tikka makes an AZZ out of it. It'll be the last Bergara I buy as I might send it down the road.
I started with a Ruger Predator as the best, cheapest, option to try out the 6.5 CM. I came to the conclusion that it lived up to the hype and when the chance to buy a Bergara in 6.5 for $550 I jumped on it and sold the Ruger which I paid $350 for. The Bergara LOOKS nicer, but doesn't shoot any better, if even as good. I don't dislike the Bergara, but normally the Bergara and Tikka are very close to the same price. For the same money I'd buy the Tikka 10 times out of 10 over Bergara. And for about 1/2 the money the Ruger is the best value.
