I can't take it anymore after getting my notification that it shipped first thing this morning.

I opted for the Sako Finnlight in 6.5x55. I would have preferred the short action of the 260 but was the only thing I kept coming back to on the 260. The 6.5x55 had everything else history, cool factor, fluted barrel, room to seat the bullets out when reloading, etc. They are even when comes to the bullets and brass now that lapua makes brass for them both, but just felt like the 6.5x55 would allow me to stretch its legs a little more if I can find some current load data.

I guess I opted for experience over youth. I think it will pair nicely with my model 70 classic stainless in 7 mag (which is only one month into my five month wait for a mcmillan stock. Now I just need something for bullet weights over 175.

Congratulations on the blond.

The 6.5x55 will be a lot of fun.

You didn't get hurt. Good choice.

Thats why the .260 is nearly dead, it's a solution looking for a problem.

The 6.5x55 is a great chambering!

You mean a temporary solution for a permanent problem?!?!
