If you want to keep your .308 though as you can never have to many guns just not enough storage space. I am in the processes of building my second 6.5 creedmoor rifle. Its not cheap but if you want the info I can give you the build list just pm me but I will warn you its in the 3-4k range you could also pick up a donor remington 700 action (just find a cheap rifle with the action and get it rebarrled and throw it in a stock of your choice.

Well the 142gr SMKs I loaded up for mine are pushing around 2740 FPS at the muzzle that translates to a transonic range of around 1450yards at near sea level. I think its a great caliber for long range and there is match grade factory ammo available. I would definitely look at the creedmoor its a great caliber thats why I am building a bolt gun chambered in it now that I have seen how well it works in my semi-auto.

Why's a Howa inferior to any other action?
If you're talking out of the box accuracy, a Howa rifle is just as accurate (and in my experience, more) accurate than most other factory guns.
But if you're looking for a good entry level 6.5, check out Savage. I've heard good things about Savage LRP.
