Just wondering what scopes/reticle and powers you guys were running on this round assuming you are shooting 500+ yards?

4.5-18x LRHS (thanks clints, GregW, and Jordan). I really like it.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Nightforce SHV 5-20×56 and Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 and Nightforce 3.5-15×56
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

4.5-18x LRHS (thanks clints, GregW, and Jordan). I really like it. Good deal, JG. That scope is pretty easy to get along with.  My 6.5 Creedmoors currently wear SWFA SS 3-9x42, SS 6x, LRHS 3-12x, and XRSII 4.5-30x. Depends more on the rig, its intended application, and the distance capability that I use the rifle for, more than the chambering itself.

I won't say I'm a Creed lover, but have one. Meopta Optica6 Dicrotek BCD reticle 2.5X15. Great scope, but a bit on the porky side.

Can't say I'm a 6.5 Creedmoor lover, but have owned several over the past decade, partly to see if it's reputation for "inherent accuracy," especially with factory ammo, is justified. So far I've used these scopes mounted on them:
3-15x42 Weaver Super Slam (one of my favorite "dialing" scopes--too bad it's not made anymore, but I have two so am OK.)
6x36 Leupold M8
6x42 SWFA
3-9x40 Burris C4 Plus (also discontinued, but dialed very consistently)
3-10x42 Nightforce SHV
4-16x50 Burris Eliminator III
All have worked fine within their limitations. My present 6.5 CM is a Bergara B-14 Ridge, but I haven't settled on one scope yet. Am getting finder of the Zeiss Conquest V4s, partly because of their zero-stop, and have two that might end up on it.

I currently have a Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex on the one I have. It works fine for my purposes, which mostly center around hunting..

Since 2015 I’ve used 3 different scopes on my lightweight 6.5CM. First was a Leupold 6x36, then an NXS 2.5-10x42mm Compact, and now a Bushnell 3-12 LRHS.

WOW! I must have missed the memo!
When did Weaver discontinue their line of scopes AND buy out Bushnell, RCBS, Primos, Hoppes #9, & Butler Creek?
Went to check out Weaver Scopes (which I kind of like) and NO MAS! BUT found a new line of Bushnells there..... which I like too but......

On the "light" one (Tikka T3X SS) it's a Meopta MEOSTAR R1 4-12x40 mm and on the "heavy" one (Tikka T3X CTR SS) has a Zeiss V4 4-16X44 mm.
Very happy with both set ups.

Tikka T3x Varmint, SWFA SS 12x42 mil/mil. Tikka T3x stainless Lite, a (gasp) Leupold VX-II 3-9x40. So far, disaster has not struck. So far. Also not a Creedmoor lover per se but I did notice the shift in planetary alignments when the Creedmoor was first introduced...
