I built my 6.5 and love it. Started with a 700 short action, 26" Hart barrel, timney trigger, and a 6.5 Creedmoor came to life!!! Ground hogs worst nightmare. Took a deer past season 380yds. Luey scope with the CDS set up for 120gr. Nosler. The best rifle I've ever owned!!!!!

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Now I seriously want to make a sleeper Mannlicher. Still hunt the brush with a rear peep/hooded front combo, then toss on a Nightforce and bust rocks at a grand. .270 and 130 NPTs, broseph?  Probably. It would kill stuff better than a 162 Amax. Yeah, out to 300 yards... but when you got to 301... kiss your ass goodbye! Tanner

I hear a #5 contour makes for a good carrying/packing rig Comments? Why mess with a #5? MTU will build character on those hunts!

I'm think of stocking it in something along the lines of a McMillan Classic. I don't think that MTU will quite fit, I could be wrong though. Anybody have a Classic that'll care to offer their opinion?

Hard to beat a 6,5x47L.
I shoot a 47 against creedmores XCs 260s etc on steel.Out to 1000 yards.
I think the 47 is more consistent than the rest.
But thats just me.

Yeah, you can't trust a push feed when the chips are down,,, But that 6.5-45 ACP would be an awfully efficient round,,,  DF

If going that route, I suggest the 6.5-9mm, as the 6.5-45 ACP is way too overbore.

Come to think of it, a 6.5 x .357 SIG would be about right....

And in a little bitty Micro action, that gun could come in under 3 pounds with a short pencil barrel and a McM Micro fill mini-stock... A decent scope could double the weight... DF
