My dad lusted after this rifle for years , specifically in .243 . He finally found exactly what he was looking for in a shop one day and bought it . Started working up handloads with his favorite bullet (85gr Sierra Gameking HPBT,he swore by it ) , shooting it on a 25 yard range in his yard . He had a heart attack on July 4th and passed away that year, never hunted the rifle .
I finished the load workup a few years back . Intent it be hunted . My sis went on a hunt and I sent it with her , and she took a doe . I used it exclusively last year so I could say I'd done it in tribute to him .
It's back in the safe waiting on my brother to bloody it . He's coming home for Christmas and plans to hunt .

Rabid Creedmoorians ring my doorbell ... as I open it a crack they speak : "Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior , 6.5Creed?"
