Choices seem to be http://www.ruger.com/products/HawkeyeFTWHunter/models.html about $850 best price is what I have seen.

https://www.cdnnsports.com/browning-xbolt-hunter-6-5-creedmoor-left-hand.html

Or rebarrel my LH Ruger Hawkeye in 308 Win with Mcmillion hunter stock.

Dont like the stock on the Ruger FTW could swap it for the Mcmillion I have?

Or settle and buy a Tikka T3 X lite LH in 260 Rem but really want a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Any other LH 6.5 CM?

Savage makes the trophy hunter package in creedmoor. Get it and dump the Nikon.

Hunting with one this season. I like it.

Accutrigger but not accustock. ~$550 ish.

Understood. For your style of hunting, probably a little "hefty".

A few of my buddies have the trophy hunter XP's and they are damn fine shooters. I actually like the triggers on them. I adjusted 2 out of the 3 and they are surprisingly smooth, light and let off is very repeatable. They are all Savage accurate, but the one chambered in 22-250 blows my mind on how accurate it is (hovers right at 1/2 moa for 5 shots). I know where a left handed creedmoor is right now that I've been contemplating buying. Have to wait for the next gunshow our club throws though and I might just buy it from the old guy..

I bought a standard contour 6.5CM barrel for my Blaser R8 and am thoroughly enjoying it. I also have a LH Ruger Hawkeye in 243 that I'm contemplating a rebarrel job to 6.5 CM. Is there a barrel 'smith you have used in the past that you would recommend?

Kurt,
When I was looking to scratch the itch for a Creedmor found a nice Tikka in .260. Great shooting rifle. But as you know they are built on longer actions which makes them a tad heavier but at the same time you can load any longer bullet you like.

Or, just buy a Tikka and have the barrel set back and rechambered to 6.5 Creedmor.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
