The platform? Either a ptr 91 or an m1a
I'd vote M1A. In my experience, M1As are easier to shoot well but that might be my own personal bias.

+1.260 Rem. is what you're looking for.
Yes but I have only seen one and it was pricy, but the Creedmore and the 260 Rem fit into a standard AR10 platform so they are a better choice if you want an AR.For th 6.5x55, is it offered in semi auto format?
Ok, but how long does it take them before they stop firing back? Ie: Do they have enough adrenaline to be able to push through the pain?For SHTF, I'd go with a 5.56. I like the 308, but there is a reason we went to 5.56. It all comes down to how much ammo the gun holds and how much you can carry. Marines shoot the 5.56 every year at 500 yards. It's deadly accurate as long as you make a good wind call. 30 vs 20 in a mag makes a big difference. I've shot 3" groups at 500 yards with the 5.56. It wasn't a special rifle, in fact it was a standard issue M16A2. And 5.56 is very avail. Don't worry about velocity at 500. When its WROL, a scratch and infection will kill. Also, the 5.56 even at 800 will drop a person. We've been doing it in afghan for the past few years. Good luck on your choice.
