Back when these 6.5s were two-for-a-nickel, I made the mistake of buying just one. A 96-38 with a straight bolt. I was able to get a bent bolt from Numrich and that made a handy little shooter. I gave it to my daughter and that's the only center-fire rifle she shoots. Pistol calibers not withstanding.
I would like to pick up another one or two for myself, but the prices make me look at other toys.
There's one for $425 on GA but it looks like it's been used for a tent pole. If you want one worth owning, it's $700+ after shipping and fees.
There's a Bubba'd one that I'll pick up in 10 days or so if it's still there. I can live with the Bubba cause I really like the 6.5 cartridge.
