Here’s my little beast of a 6.5 weighing in at 17.5 lbs no packing this one in the mountains

I'll admit I own one. Its exactly what I asked for.
Barrett fieldcraft, SA, Lightweight 6.9 lbs scoped, low to moderate recoil, high BC bullet with good sectional density and good to better then average barrel life. Its not that fast. And in that lightweight package it still has a decent kick 15 ftlbs. But when ammo isnt crazy I can still shoot factory ammo for $25-28 a box. I just like to make fun on the fanboys that think its something its not.

I might also have a 6mm creedmoor.

I might also have a problem.
 
6.5 CM has many more factory offerings than the 260, plus better bullets with higher BCs due to the shorter case. I'm not too concerned with long range velocity, but I do love high a BC for its lower wind drift.
 
What’s worse, all the guys that shoot big braked obnoxious magnums to make it kick like a 6.5 or the guy shooting a wimpy 6.5 because he can’t handle the recoil of the big magnum! I got the girlfriend a 6.5 creed and it’s addicting to shoot.

So there’s creedtards and trans-creedtards!
