Teekers are S/S and that helps a bunch,but they really need to chamber Seex Kreed in CTR,because those are the only mags they make,that are worth a fhuqk. Hint....................

If that's just the rifle there are plenty of RA Predators, CZ 600 Alpha, and Savage 110 available online for under $1000. I don't think Howa even catalogs a 6mm Creedmoor anymore.

There's still some of the Brownell's barreled actions floating around. I should've bought one.

I'd much rather have a Howa than a any of the above. There are still some Howa's floating around.

Bang for the buck,pass the Waypoint,though I've only shot (4) of 'em so chambered. Hint.................

Seafire Campfire 'Bwana S Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 42,801 Likes: 1 Southern Oregon USA	Originally Posted by RIO7 The .243 has been my go to for many years, then I went to the .243 A.I. 1 x 8 twist and it became my go to gun, then along came the 6 CM that i will call the .243 improved every thing about the 6 CM is easier reloading Powder bullet selection the 6 CM in a handy hunting rifle is a real cream puff that kills way above it's weight class. YMMV Rio7 Blue.. hope this finds ya doing well ol friend. Thanks for your simple analogy, much like anything you post. You are one of the most practical and experienced guys I think the campfire has to offer. a good reason I've always respected you so much. Hope you enjoy a very good 2024. best regards, seafire.

It is mechanically a much superior vessel to the 243 Win,none of which is subjective. Hint. I only have (1) Howie so chambered and it's a hammer,though I drive it in a McMillan. Hint. Having multiple Mini Howie Bitches in Carbon,I'd not want my Howie Kreed Sporter in same,because the balance would be schit. Hint. Just sayin'.................. Mine was a 250-300 dollar barreled action from Brownells, just like BS and Kalebs I believe. I put mine in a McMillan as well. It was alot of bang for the buck back when we grabbed em. Semper Fi

You'll be looking at an almost 6lb barreled action by the time you add bottom metal, mag, and a #4 Brux contour barrel. You'll be close to 9lbs if not over by the time you add a stock and optics.

It's not gonna be hunting specific. But it will be fine for the location I can shoot to 350 at deer.

I've never liked Boogers on Critters,but they tend to shoot well. Hint. If I toss the K&P 7" Dasher spout on my Accuracy International AT,I'll try them there too. Hint. 112's are fhuqking AMAZING and a Booger can't even begin to touch them in flight characteristics. Hint...............
