Have you considered a 6.5 x 284 if you are gonna shoot long range?? Or the 6.5 PRC. š The PRC is gaining traction by the day and developing a reputation for accuracy that is right there with the Creedmoor. If you are going to handload, I'd get the PRC. Factory ammo is easy enough to come by, but is a bit more expensive.

Beav, that is sweet! Did you order it already inlet for the CTR, did you have to modify it, or what? Did you do that finish yourself? Thanks for posting that pic. I really like that.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I am looking at getting one of those or a 260. A rifle just for long range steel or target shooting out to 100yards.
I just ordered a SWFA 10x MIL and it will go on a Savage tactical or Tikka CTR. I just canāt decide on the chambering.
Thoughts and advice, thanks A year ago, for the same purpose, shooting targets out to 1,000 yards, I picked up a new 6mm Creed in the Ruger Precision Rifle. Couldn't turn it down for $749. Popped an unemployed Vortex scope on it. With factory Hornady 108's or my handloads with the same bullet, it shoots great! Big Ugly ol' truck axle of a rifle, but it shoots well. The cartridge is a peach. I think a 6.5 Creed would do as well, but the 6 was avail at the deeply discounted price. That was good enough for me!  I've done quite a bit of long range shooting over the years, NRA "High Master" and all that, and the 6mm Creed makes it easy. Crosshairs don't come off the target. Can spot my own hits on steel. Easy to load - just run it through my Hornady dies with no special attention. I think I'd have been equally pleased with the 6.5 version, but the 6 landed here. Regards, Guy

Have you considered a 6.5 x 284 if you are gonna shoot long range?? Tell us why you would go with a 6.5x284 over both the other 6.5 offerings? Please expound on your LR experience with it while youāre at it.... Wouldnāt the 6.5x284 give you a little more at long range if you wanted a short cartridge? I have a couple of Creedmoors, a 6.5-06, couple 264ās and a 26 Nosler. Iām a deer hunter, never shoot over 300 yds. We know Hanco... and you have dozens of Leupold scopes on those long range rigs.... maybe you should stick to the 223ai thread? My old eyes wonāt let me shoot long range anymore. My rifles are way more capable than I am. If I was shooting as far as you guys I would go Nightforce.

I have a 530-yard range here at home and that is really pushing it for me, anymore. I like sub-300 for hunting.

The CTR I found is chambered in 260. The price is 150-200 dollars less than a Creed, 875 Shooting a 260 since 1998... never grabbed onto the 6.5 Creedmoor... Endless supply of 308 brass out there....which I just neck down..... Saving a couple hundred bucks... that would pay for the Super Sniper or 2/3 of the cost... as long as it has a one in 8 twist to it...you'd be good to go...

the whole reason to use a creedmore is because the case is a bit shorter. tikka's are all the same length action. you can load the bullets out long. the 260 should have an edge if you want to use it. that and the creed has become too tacticool.
