With an $800 budget I'd buy
TWO Ruger Predators. One in 6.5 Creedmoor and a 223 and call it good. They are $389 OTD here. If only interested in one rifle, then Tikka in 6.5 for about $700.

you wont beat .270 winchester with either of the 3 you asked about.

The 6.5 Creed shoots similar bullet weights as 270 (which is 6.8mm) about 100-150 fps slower at the muzzle, but at around 200 yards or farther the better 6.5 bullets are faster than 270. And with 30-35% less recoil.

Tikka in 7mm-08.
Your not going get any magical results with a 6.5mm at your distances.

Tikka is a great choice, but 6.5 ammo is far easier to find and a LOT less expensive. It also recoils about 25% less than 7-08. While the advantages on game aren't huge, they are there. As a target round the advantages are significant.
The 7-08 was an attempt to gain some ballistic advantage over 308 with less recoil. The advantages are minimal, about 1" less drop and about 30 ft. lbs. at 500 yards and 1 ft lb less recoil.
The 260 and 6.5 Creed do what the 7-08 failed to do. They both offer much better downrange performance with significant recoil reduction with no loss of performance on game. As a cartridge the 260 is virtually the same as the 6.5 Creed, but the availability and cost of ammo makes going with 6.5 over 260 a no brainer. If someone already owns a 260 there is little reason to change unless they don't reload.
