Most accurate best value 6.5 Creedmoor

Hard to beat ruger American at that price point

Ruger American ftw

I'm no savage fan but that axis 2 pro stock looks better than lots of others from a ergos standpoint. If it didn't drop at heel at all and the toe line was then correspondingly flatter it would probably be quite good.

I'd try to find a way to get a tikka with the rebate.

CVA Scout 6.5CM

I paid $315 for this gun and it shoots at/under 1” with my 140 BT hand loads. Trigger is great, super compact and relatively lightweight. My full setup weights around 7.5# with a pocket knife, 7 bullets and a flashlight in the stock pouch.

Another nod for the Ruger American if you’re buying new. You might could find a used Tikka 6.5.

IMO you can’t go wrong with any of the 3 I listed.

SWFA 6x42 - $299, Trijicon Huron 3-9x40 $399, 3-12x40 $455.

Where is there a swfa 6x42 for $299? You can get them used here for like $400 if you're really quick.
I don't think they've actually made that scope in over a year.

Can't beat the Ruger Americans for the price. Everyone I have seen shoots factory ammo well.

I didn't say they were in stock, but that's the list price on their website. The Trijicons are in stock on EuroOptic though. My point was there's a couple options for reliable scopes that are well south of $1k.

my tikka (I think $700ish new) shoot lights out

At that price point the Ruger American predator/ranch has those features and a better ergonomic stock, IMHO. They're known to shoot well too.

I bought the Magpul Hunter option. 3 rounds at 100 yards to zero it. Next 5 shots were on target at 200, 300, 500, 700, and 850. I’m a solid believer in the Ruger platform.

My Ruger Americans all shoot great, another great option is the new Savage Trail Hunter Lite

 

[hunt1up]

There's some Tikkas out there for low $600s after rebate. On Gunbroker and Grabagun. On Grabagun, do the "Get a Quote" price emailed to you and it knocks off like $60 or so.

Thank you everyone. Looking at the ruger american. I have one in 350 legend. Just don’t like that the bolt doesn’t lock in place
