I stopped at my local big box store that Carries ammo. After looking at the selection of ammo I've narrowed it down to 7mm-08 or 308. They had no 6.5 so that helped me eliminate that round. 7mm-08 they had enough to feel comfortable buying a rifle in that caliber and price compared to the 308 was reasonable. Now just to try and get my hands on a savage 11 or 10 and the ruger to see if one feels better then the other.
