I have several rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I love this round and think it's an all round perfect cartridge for where I live.
Do any of you own a rifle or two in 6.5 Creedmoor?
panthercreekgunleather, Welcome to the forum! I don't have a 6.5, but they are interesting. I was doing some reading on the 6mm Benchrest site http://www.6mmbr.com/index.html (http://www.6mmbr.com/index.html) and had thoughts about getting into the 6mm, insted, howevere I had gotten into a couple of the 30Cal rifles in my younger days. (Money was tighter for me back then and getting tighter still in retirement! :-[
What rifles do you have chambered for it? I have several AR-308 lowers en route and plan to build a few uppers next year for them. Convince me a 6.5 AR upper is worthwhile. ;)
I have a Ruger American a.k.a. the ranch/beater/farm rifle I carry with me around my property on an ATV. I have a Ruger M77 Predator, and a Savage Lightweight Hunter.
Also, I'm 'in line' at Ruger's custom shop to have a Gunsite Scout chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. It's not Ruger's Custom Shop per se, but a guy who they refer all of their Custom Shop deals to. I bought a Gunsite off of a buddy back in March for $600, sent it to the man that does the Ruger Customs, and paid him $450 including shipping to rebarrel and chamber the Gunsite in 6.5 Creedmoor. I have a regular Gunsite Scout in 308 that I love, and wanted one in 6.5 Creedmoor.
I've got all the stuff for a custom XP100 pistol in 6.5x47L to be assembled. I just need to send it off to the smith.
There are so many great long range bullets, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be capable of.
Shadow, I do have an Encore pistol (16.25") barrel in 6BR and it does an impressive job at distances out to 600yds, at which point I'm out of scope elevation adjustment without a different base. I also have a couple chambered in 30BR (9" and 18") that are impressive. Muzzle flip on the 9" is a little crazy though.
