Have a matching 22" 7 SAUM with trijicon tenmile but I have put so many rounds through the creed, that is what I am most comfortable with. Getting it's second barrel now. Recoil control and being able to spot impacts is big for me. More than likely on a big hunt, I am grabbing the 7, but in the back of my head I know i shoot the creed best.

I grab this gun for anything unless weight is primary factor, then it's a Fieldcraft 6.5CM.

 

[PredatorSlayer]

Bergara Premier Approach 6mm CM with nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56. Shoots itty bitty groups with factory ammo. I have a 6.5 prc and a 280AI that I really like, but if forced to keep one, this is the one I would keep to shoot everything from varmints to moose. The 108gr eldms are violent on game.

[huntnful]

Definitely my 300 Norma Improved’s. Easy to load for sure and lots of long range killing power.

First one was 9.4 lbs

Then I went with a steel barrel and heavier scope to weigh it down a little more. To 10.5 lbs.

And this year I’ll be using a whole new build with steel barrel, steel actin, and adjustable stock for a finish weight of about 11.8lbs
