Im not ready to go down that road yet.
I'm leaning towards the tikka T3 in 6.5x55.

I think that's a fine choice. Good luck in your search.
Thank you all for your help and patience,
I will post an update when something happens...

Got me some 6.5x55 dies.... this is the beginning of the end.
The Howa 1500 bolt rifle is offered in 6.5 x 55mm as well. Might be worth a look....
Thanks!
I may or may not have found a 700 classic in 6.5x55
I get to talk to the guy about it in an hour or so. Also, he's interested in a cowboy lever action, which I am trying to sell to fund the 6.5x55.
This might just work... we will see

I would want to know the Remington's twist. The Tikka has an 8 twist which is great. Second I would need proof of how the Rem shoots. Tikka's generally shoot very good.

It's unfired.
That Remington in 6.5 x 55mm is very, very likely one of the Classic series of 700's. For a number of years, Remington would offer a limited run of rifles chambered for some older, "classic" caliber, in a gussied up 700 special edition rifle it called, what else, the 700 Classic. Each year brought a new Classic, in a different caliber each year. IIRC, the 6.5 X55mm Classic came out in the mid-to-late '80s. If unfired, it would make you a very nice first bolt action rifle.
I do believe this is the case, I believe the year was 1994.
