I should probably sell the dies, brass, and bullets I have to reduce the strain on my conscience. I was thinking about a single shot Grendel. I used to own some bolt 6.5x55s, but never used them. Too many other toys I guess. My 6.5s were never the first rifles I reached for. I think Creedmoors are cool, but a Creedmoor would gather dust in my locker. Better to let someone else enjoy the hell out of one. You should get one of these. I've certainly owned more than my share of blunders, if that counts. A Nock volley gun is more my style. What fresh Hell is this?

The desire for a rifle does not have to come from a "need" Small Game, Deer, Turkey, Bear, Elk....It's what's for dinner. If you know how many guns you own... you don't own enough. In God We Trust.

I'm not sure, thinking 3-12x44 Bushy LRTS............or Meopta Optika 6 of sorts. Or, may keep it lighter weight with something a bit smaller/lighter as I've got a few Meopro 4.5-14 HTR models kicking around. Talley Rings Last edited by screaminweasil; 08/30/19.

sharps4590 Campfire Regular S Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 1,052 Missouri	Originally Posted by REvans1957 Don't have one and have no desire to. ^This....don't need one. I've had a 6.5 55 Swede and a 6.5 X 54 Mannlicher/Schoenauer decades before the CM was a gleam in someone's eye. One is better than the CM and the other gives up very little and, you can't get a CM in a rifle as svelte or smooth as the 1903 Mannlicher/Schoenauer unless you have it custom made.

I'm never embarrassed when I take either one hunting. NRA Benefactor 2008 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me."
