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.

Finally got out and shot my new Bergara B 14 6.5 creedmoor yesterday. I shot five-5 shot groups using hornady 140gr bthp ammo. Largest group at 100 yds was just under 1 MOA and best group was 1/2 MOA! With reloading I should be able to shrink this a bit or at least maintain it. Trigger is definitely better than my Rem 700's and overall fit and feel are going to be hard to beat at its price point. Before I left the range i dialed in the 450 yd target and sent one; hit it dead center. For what it is worth, I have shot the ruger american 6.5 creedmoor and it was very accurate as well. If you are looking for something in the $400-450 price range that is a great option, but if you are looking in the $700 price range I would strongly consider the B 14. Just my  :twocents:

So the Bergara B14 cost you approx. $700?  For some reason I thought they were $550ish.............

I have been looking at the bergara b14 myself. I really like that the footprint is the same as the Remington 700. Stock and trigger options are abundant.

Do the Bergara's come in stainless? Look like a pretty nice rifle.

I have the Bergara B14 and it's a sub moa shooter with the Hornady factory 143 gr precision hunter loads. Quality gun that the only negative thing I can think of is its a little on the heavy side.
