6.5 Creedmoor Rifle Suggestions

[Bigmo58]

I would get the b-14 ridge and the vx-5 hd. The bergara rifles are great and the vx-5 is by far one of the nicest optics I’ve ever used

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this. It has been a huge help. I think I am going to pick up the Hell's Canyon Speed in the next couple of days. Played with the Weatherby, Bergara, and Christensen rifles and the HC Speed just felt the best in my hands.

Now I just need to figure out my optics...

Call Schmalts. He'll hook you up with the best option for your intended use.

Nice pick on the Hell's Canyon. If I were buying a 6.5, that's the platform I'd get it in. Pretty slick rifle.

I picked up the Howa in the American Flag Chassis.....sweet looking and shooting rifle!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions, it is greatly appreciated. I handled almost all the rifles suggested and fell in love with the feel of the Browning Hell's Canyon Speed.

Have a friend with the Hell's Canyon in 6.5 CREED and it's a Sub MOA rifle. Great choice!

Good choice OP. Enjoy the rifle in good health.

Those are both great choices for the Creed.

Is the Hornady ELD-X in 6.5 good ammo for hunting deer ?

Yes, but you need nothing other than the Hornady Whitetail ammo, with the 129 Interlock. Great bullet and accurate ammo.

I vote Tikka T3X. There are a lot of good options out there, but you can get a lot of real good gun in the T3X for the $ you're talking about - fluted barrel, stainless, etc. And they are very good shooters.

i bought a browning rifle about a year ago and I can say that other than one thing the rifle has been perfect. Good choice

I believe they’re working on a 7mm-08 model. I happen to like both cartridges myself.

My Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 6.5 CM shoots one hole groups with factory Hornady 147 ELD-M. I do a lot of custom reloading for other people and almost all of my rifles, I haven't even thought about loading for this one.

I bought a $600 Bergara B14 hunter just to finally have a 6.5 creedmore. Put an old VXIII on it. After packing it around for a while I finally built some loads for it.
The first five NLRAB into a perfect clover leaf, and repeatable.
Grandson shot his first deer with it, won’t give it back.
In my opinion it is a plain Jane soul less rifle but you would have a hard time finding a rifle that shoots better.
My birthday is Sunday, since my Grandson “stole”my rifle, we are going to town today I’ll buy another.
Good luck, have fun.

 

[Salmonchaser]

Dang it; didn’t read all the posts. Hells Canyon is a great rifle.
