Wanted: 6.5x55 with 1:8 twist barrel pls

[JohanM]

Looking for a 6.5x55 to use for target shooting. 1:8 twist preferred and if I can push my luck a heavy barrel. Seems most of the rifles in this caliber is made for stalking and therefore light. Have my eye on a Sako 85 but before I take the plunge I want to see if anything else out there. Budget up to £1k.

Thanks.
