Hello, my current battery of rifles is this:

-For big game I have a 458 Lott.
-For large atilopes I have a 375 H & H.
- For monteria and stalking of large animals the 8x68S.

And the 300 to be similar to the 8x68S wanted to change it to one suitable to stalk animals of the size of a roe deer, fox etc ...

If you are truly going to use it for fox, roe deer and game that size I personally would go smaller than the 6.5..and get a 6mm of some sort.. a .243 Winchester would be fine or the new 6mm Creedmoor... I have both and have killed game with the .243 from prairie dogs and antelope to elk for the past 20+ years..in fact have shot it so much I have actually worn out the barrel, currently having it replaced with a new Hart ..

Anther good choice would be a .22 centerfire such as a .22-250 Remington. Still have plenty of knock down and very flat shooting...

All of above can be purchased in a very small quick handling rifle ..and all of the above can kill anything you point it at provided your shot is true..

Roe deer would be no problem for either...not sure what its like in your part of the world, but over here every sporting goods store has the ammo and its cheap...
