I have a sako 75 and it likes 120 Tsx with max charge of imr 4451. Absolutely beautiful gun and love the 6.5x55 chambering

I have an M96 that I revived I've had pretty good luck with the Hornady 140gr BHTP and the Barnes 140gr Match Burners.

Nothing, it just wasn't being used. It is very accurate, but I always end up taking my custom 7mmstw hunting.

Default 6.5X55"s

Voere Saturn double set trigger butter knife bolt handle 23" barrel
Ruger K77 RSI Stainless Full Stock 18 1/2" barrel Lipsey's Exclusive
Zastava M70 Full Stock 20" barrel
Lakelander 375 with 9 locking lugs and 23 1/2" heavy barrel

Love 'em all but the Lakelander is by far the nicest shooting and most accurate.
IMR 4350 with 140 gr
Varget with 120 gr

pick one with weaver mounts and you can do it. Also look for a side safety, or a low swing safety and the bolt modified to clear a scope. .
