Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 6.5 Creedmore or 243 Winchester for deer hunting ?

I'd go with the 6.5 CREEDMOOR and a Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard. The Weatherby Vanguards I've seen and had have been reliable and the design is very good. They are the best rifle for the $, bar none. Forged bolt and receiver with an integral bolt handle and recoil lug. Their only shortcoming is they are a little heavier than some of the other rifle actions out there.
