6.5 Creedmoor for my wife

[PathFinder]

Kimber is making the Adirondack in a Creedmoor. It would make a really light, nice handling rifle. If you want to go heavier, Howa makes a heavy barrel model. Browning makes an X-Bolt in it as well.

Pathfinder- I was looking at the Kimber Adirondack but I kind of scared away from Kimbers as I have read about the equal amount of negative to positive reviews on this brand versus other brands. Almost picked up a Kimber Mountain rifle in 308 but the reviews aren't making me ready to pull the trigger. That's why I was thinking about the Howa. Any personal experience with the Kimbers on your side?

I just bought a howa heavy barreled 223. It's pretty accurate and I love the trigger, but I had to swap in a stiffer extractor spring and I need to lap the lugs. I haven't owned one, just keep looking at them and doing research. There's a couple guys here that love them, but I've heard the horror stories too.

My daughter has used a ruger Hawkeye compact 7mm08 since she was 10. When she isn't with me I carry it and found it to work well on everything out to 310yards furthest I've shot it at game. I like my xbolt more but find this thing so fast handling.

I get a kick out of the fact it 3" shorter then most 30-30's and still has some reach to it.

How about one of these in a 25-06 or maybe a 7x57. Both great cartridges and the Montana Rifle Company builds a very nice rifle on the Mauser and Model 70 actions.

If only they used proper twist rates on their 6.5 barrels, they'd be a strong contender for my next rifle.
