What 6.5 creedmore rifle to get?

[jrebel]

I will most likely be buying two rifles, one for me and one for my wife. We are wanting to go hunt antelope and deer in Wyoming. I'm really starting to lean towards the American just with the price point and the good reviews. I can buy two ruger Americans for the price of one savage. I really do not think I will be shooting out to 1000 yards but would be target shooting out to 500.

Buy your wife the savage lady hunter in 6.5.  She will never need another rifle and will love you for another lifetime.  Great guns for ladies!!

I just picked up a Kimber Hunter on 6.5, the glass and rings will be here tomorrow so I don't know how it shoots yet.

I went with the Bergara B 14 in synthetic. 22 inch barrel is the same length as my Remington mtn rifle but it is a little heavier. the synthetic stock has a great feel compared to most others and the trigger is adjustable. They guarantee sub moa, which i will put to the test this weekend once my new Leupold shows up.

I'm going to pick up a savage 10 predator soon, looked at the savage 11 trophy combos, and the Ruger American predator, by. I like the accustock of the model 10, and the magazine system seems much better. The rar gets awesome reviews though, and if something changes I'll be picking that one up instead. Only thing I didn't like about it was the somewhat chinsy feeling stock that's on it.

I have been looking pretty hard at the Kimber. They seem like a great rifle for the price, and come with the same action and barrel as their higher priced rifles, just with a lower grade stock.

I really like the stock on my Kimbers.  Very stout for the weight savings.

Looking forward to your review once it's set up. Looks like these might be a great rifle at a great price.

I like the feel of the Tikka T3 and bang for your buck they are a hard rifle to beat.

I agree but don't believe they offer that caliber

Reckon why the Predator in 308 is only offered in an 18" tube where all other calibers are 22" ?

Ed Shilen has his fingers in the Bergara company...

Picked up a Ruger Precision in 6.5. I've got 100 rounds thru it, and it is lights out. Very impressed so far. If anyone is considering a 6.5, I would strongly recommend checking this one out.

Its like 13# isn't it?  Great shooter I hear.

I finally got out and shot my Ruger American predator this weekend. I love it and it shoots great.

I'm really starting to lean towards a American predator for hunting use, and building a savage in a chassis for bench work, instead of buying a model 10 predator for both.

There's a pretty big group on Facebook all about the American, some impressive stuff posted on there, and a lot of rumors of new stock options coming up at shot.
