Only if you have all of the matching attire to go with the 6.5CM.

Before anyone starts jumping up and down and throwing a fit, I've owned a Ruger 77 Stainless Synthetic 6.5 CM since just after the time when they first became available. I shot it some and found it to be a good, accurate cartridge, but since I'm mostly a hunter, it offered nothing extra for me and my needs. Now it sits in a gun safe most of the time. I grab either my Model 70 FW 7MM-08 or my Sako 6.5x55 Swede rifles far more when its time to go hunting. And I don't grab either of them because of the rifles alone. Both of those cartridges serve me and my needs very well. JMO.........

It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.
