Greetings @Haggis,
I think that the answer to the question is in your own post.
Why not keep the Ruger and buy either a Tikka or a Bergara in 6.5x55. I lusted after a nice new 6.5x55 for decades but nothing available. Did not want a .260 with its short mag and slow twist. 6.5 Creedmoor had yet to be invented. Finally I spotted that Tikka offered the cartridge in it's T3 Lite. Snap. Great rifle, nice and light with a 6 power scope and deadly accurate. I still have the .308 Remington I bought in the late 1970's and just walked back in from zeroing it for a shoot on Saturday. Neither rifle is going anywhere.
Regards Grandpamac.
