OR FNG

[503Dan]

Longtime lurker from Oregon. I’ve mostly read gear reviews. Forms contribution to the 6.5/.260 thread just convinced me to buy a creedmoor instead of another magnum. It’s a savage ultralite though not a tikka… so we’ll see if I can manage to fit in here.

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new OR member.

6.5cm? What’s your intended use? Oh and welcome, I’m also a FNG from OR

Mostly will be shooting blacktails 300 and in. Spring bear in the east side every 2-3 years. And I might hunt elk with it occasionally but I’m typically an archery hunter for elk. I’ve shot a .300 win for years, wanted a lighter rifle and was going to go for a 7 prc, but I’ve got multiple buddies killing bulls every year with a creedmoor, and the 6.5 .260 thread on here really sold me. Plus ammo availability and cost means I might actually shoot as often as I should.

Welcome. I got a ultralite in 6.5prc last month. Shoots great.

Right on, I’ve been hunting with 30 cal magnums as well but all this from Form and Ryan have me considering making the switch to a 6mm.

Hello from a fng from Willamette valley, oregon. I am thinking in buying a 6.5 creedmoor due to a shoulder injury.

Lucky! I haven’t seen ammo in any Walmarts in California for awhile.

Only reason I went for the 6.5 over a 6 um or 6 creed is I don’t reload

I’ve got a savage Ultralite in 6.5cm also, it is one of the most accurate rifles I own. Hopefully you have good luck with yours.

Are you shooting factory ammo? And if so what? I’m hoping precision hunter 143 grain shoots good for me.

@503Dan Factory Berger 156 EOL and factory Hornady 147 ELDM. They both shoot identical out to 400.
