What he said. Don't pass go. Go straight to Whittaker's and get it done.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Thanks! The only "logical" choice is the 6.5 Creedmoor. My 21-year-old son had his new Tikks lefty 6.5 Creed ( From Whittakers) to the range yesterday for barrel break in and sign-in. Using the Hornady 129 gr American Whitetail ammo 14 rounds went into 1.07 inches measured on center and that includes cleaning between shots.

Would have been tighter, if you had left the barrel dirty. Nice shooter and great caliber. I had a left-hand 22-250 Rem. BDL that I had no use for. I put a 6.5 Creed barrel on it and it is my favorite rifle. I killed a depredation doe at 405 with it a couple evenings back. Love it.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

I recently picked up a left hand Browning X Bolt Hunter in 6.5 CM and have had it to the range a few times. I’m about 30-35 rounds into it and shooting Hornady 129 grained American Whitetail. I’m shooting 3 and 4 leaf clovers out of it and am very pleased. I do not have any experience with Tikka. Good luck

Folks love to hate the Ruger Americans. Solid rifle for the money. I have one in 6.5cm. Shoots well.
I hunted with it more than i did with 6.5c, i had built.

You can get a left handed Savage 6.5 Creedmoor with a scope for around $500, but like others have said the Tikka is a great shooter.
