Anyone shooting one of these,thinking of one in 6.5 Creedmoor.What is the the barrel on these (varmit or sporter).
They look like they might not be to bad for a entry level rifle.
Thanks in advance for any information.
 
I have one in 6.5 Creedmoor. I enjoy shooting it. Haven't taken an animal with it yet but, with a Vortex I mounted, 200m 10+ shots all within an 1".
The barrel is heavier then typical sporter, but not by much. Still makes for a nice weight rifle.
Nice shooting and looking rifle, definitely affordable entry level. 6.5 Creedmoor ammo can be tougher to find, unless you reload(?) that makes it easier. So pick a caliber you can get ammo for easy enough.
No point in having a rifle with no ammo to shoot. Haha. Its one expensive club at that point.
 
Ya I reload so that's no problem.
What ammo you using in it.
Your 10 shots consectutive or cool down time between shots,curious as to how well they handle consecutive shots also.
 
I reload mostly, lots of available components. But for factory ammo I like using:
American Eagle 140-OTP (Open Tip Match)
Nosler 140-BT (Ballistic Tip)
Hornady 140-ELD Match and 143-ELD-X
They all shoot real well. I haven't had much luck with lighter bullets like the 120/129gr. Still shoots nice but it's more like 2-3" groupings.
3-5 fairly consecutive shots before I let it cool a bit. Haven't tried more, but that's just me.
 
I see they make a 6mm Creedmoor also with a 1-7.7 twist ,anyone shooting one of these also. Shouls be good for the 115 grs
