The Savage Avis II is now being offered in 6mm ARC, if you can find it. I'm wondering how this compares the the 6.5 Grendel in deer hunting situations.

The 6 ARC would be using 85gr TSXs. The 6.5G using 100gr TTSXs.
Max hunting distance in PA for me is 150yds. But 9 of 10 times our shots are 65-80 yds.

The 350 Legend is a third consideration. Close shooting and large bullet diameter interest me.
But I already have a .35 Remington for that stuff.

Personal opinion, but I'd take the 6.5 Grendel over the other 2.

There was no 6mm ARC when I bought a 6.5 Grendel, but it's the bees knees.
 
Personally, based on the data I have seen. It's marginally better than 223 which while workable, is significantly less than ideal. The 6.5 Grendel would be my choice.
