I’m a Creedmoor owner - got one in Bergara chassis with a Zeiss V4 6-24x50 to fool around and see if I want to shoot PRS. We have access to a long range and with cheap factory ammo Sig 127 grain & Zeiss phone app I’m hitting targets at 1100 yards. Like many on here I think I’m Gods gift to marksmanship but that is still impressive for an under $2,000 rifle & scope combo & the cheapest ammo in the store.

Just got a New Years Eve granddaughter, the first for our youngest like every gun nut grandfather I’m planning 22, shotgun, deer rifle for a young woman & it’s between 7-08 & 6.5 CM. Her mother has a 243 her father 300 Weatherby. So I have dies for 6.5 & 243 but this one might hunt elk so I’m leaning 7-08. I think of the Creedmoor as a target round still. I think big game rifles start at 30-06 & who knows she might want a 300 Bee as an adult but at 12 years 7-08 down loaded for practice seems about right.
