I love the 6.5"s,I use a creedmore for deer(129 LRAB) and 6.5 - 06 for long range target .
As for hunting long range I use a 7mm RM and 168 LRAB .
I think the 7mm-08 would be a better hunting rifle because of larger bullets but that doesn't mean your gun would shoot them. I think the 260 would be a better target rifle but I have never had a 7 -08 or a 260 but always wanted one to play with them.
Comparing 140 gr bullets in each the 6.5 has better ballistics.Just my 2 cents.
