6.5 Creedmore

[Castle Rock]

Salvage by name, savage by nature

Yes im looking for a 25-06

I got the Savage Axis in 270 with banner scope for my older son a few years back. I replaced the scope, but ended up using the banner to sight in a muzzy with no issue.
This year I got my younger son a Ruger American in 6.5cm. I like it better than the Savage.

Things to consider with the Savage:
The safety - I don't particularly like the safety and have found it incidentally moved
Is the barrel threaded and does that matter, I wish ours was now.
The magazine doesn't always lock in right and can cause an issue.
It has been an accurate gun

6.5 creed moor is great, savage rifles are garbage though.

Here is my savage 110 ultra light in 6.5 creed 10 shot group. It shoots better than I can shoot it.

I have 2 savage 110’s (308 & 243). One has an accustock and the other is an older model with a basic plastic stock. Both have the accutrigger. Both are good tac drivers. I sometime get tired of the accutriggers and think about switching them out, but it’s hard to justify when they keep working and shooting well. Never have had any feeding issues and the bolts cycle smooth enough for me. For most people, they will serve as a good rifle at a decent price point.

What kinds of game is a 7mm mag good for?

Things that walk and breathe air?

I'm not sure that dude is human.

That's a mule deer round.

Don't try to shoot anything else with it. It'll just cripple elk/antelope/whitetail/caribou/bear.

I won a tikka 6.5 creedmoor 2 years ago at a gun bash. I have shot 15 deer with it since. Love the caliber. Not much experience with savage rifles.

I find it interesting that the 6.5 Creedmoor has such little interest on the forum.

I like 6.5 CM. It is a very versatile round with good factory ammo available. I dislike Savage rifles in general. I don’t like the accutrigger. I’ve owned several Savages and have built rifles off of the platform. They were very accurate but just not my cup of tea.

Considering the Hoopla the Creedmoor was introduced with and the howling at the moon goings on at the time it is had to believe how little is posted about it. I like the 270 far better but consider the 6.5 Creed a huge step up from the 243/6mm CM. I would have bought one but am too old to grow a man bun.

Well you're on a forum that loves .223s and 6mms...

On a thread that had been dead for 9 months...

You scrolled past plenty of 6.5cm threads to get to it...

People like talking about the hot new thing, and problems. A 6.5cm is neither.

Compared to a 270 the 6.5 C is still in diapers.
