Remington M700 Alpha 1

Is the 30 TC basically the 300 savage or has it been modified in some way?

I think 6.5 creed is a 30 TC necked down with no other changes?

 

[Slimbo]

Gotcha so like a 300 savage IMP 30° kinda sorta

 

[SuperCub]

They should rename it the .300 Creedmoor.

Might give it some life.

Think the 250 Savage AI necked up to 30 cal, basically. Factory loads were supposed to be capable of 30-06 or better velocities. - dan

Logic should dictate a middle-weight class cal in the 6.5mm area as I already have an Ought Six, but I just can’t bow to the Creedmore hype personally.

Forget the CM hype and look at the very real practical advantages it offers in a short action. They add up and make a good case for going that route.

A lightweight 6.5CM for deer along with a 30-06 would be a very complete combo for pretty much any hunting most of us will be doing in Canada.

True, but I recently went with a “higher HP” set up for poops n laughs. I still am planning out another LW build for later this year, so maybe it will be in that 6.5/7mm range.

To be fair, just a 30-06 would do for the vast majority of hunting in Canada. But only having one rifle is against the GunNutz code. - dan
