I've owned three 6.5s, a M96 in 6.5x55, a CZ 550 FS in 6.5x55 and a Remington M673 in 6.5 Rem mag. Only one I still have is the M673 and to be honest, it's still not been bloodied. I've hunted with it, but never saw something I wanted to hang a tag on when using it. Shown below (scoped) with another M673 in .308. Those two, along with my 673s in .300SAUM & .350 RM complete my set of 673s. I really need to get that 6.5 out more, I reckon
