I would buy a 8 twist Tikka SS 243 and have the barrel set back and rechambered for 6 creed. That can be done for under 1k. What would be the advantage when the T3 has a long action?

As OEM goes,I shoot a RPR too. Hint. The Seex Kreed has lower ES/SD values,than the 243Win. Hint. Teekers are S/S and that helps a bunch,but they really need to chamber Seex Kreed in CTR,because those are the only mags they make,that are worth a fhuqk. Hint....................

For someone on a budget ($1,000 or less) what would you get (not sure I want the Howa)? If that's just the rifle there are plenty of RA Predators, CZ 600 Alpha, and Savage 110 available online for under $1000. I don't think Howa even catalogs a 6mm Creedmoor anymore.

There's still some of the Brownell's barreled actions floating around. I should've bought one.

S/S bores win by light years. Hint.
Bang for the buck,pass the Waypoint,though I've only shot (4) of 'em so chambered. Hint.................

The .243 has been my go to for many years, then I went to the .243 A.I. 1 x 8 twist and it became my go to gun, then along came the 6 CM that i will call the .243 improved every thing about the 6 CM is easier reloading Powder bullet selection the 6 CM in a handy hunting rifle is a real cream puff that kills way above it's weight class. YMMV Rio7 Blue.. hope this finds ya doing well ol friend. Thanks for your simple analogy, much like anything you post. You are one of the most practical and experienced guys I think the campfire has to offer. a good reason I've always respected you so much. Hope you enjoy a very good 2024. best regards, seafire.

I likely have more Seex Kreed's than I think and I think I have quite a few. It is mechanically a much superior vessel to the 243 Win,none of which is subjective. Hint. I only have (1) Howie so chambered and it's a hammer,though I drive it in a McMillan. Hint. Having multiple Mini Howie Bitches in Carbon,I'd not want my Howie Kreed Sporter in same,because the balance would be schit. Hint. Just sayin'.................. Mine was a 250-300 dollar barreled action from Brownells, just like BS and Kalebs I believe. I put mine in a McMillan as well. It was alot of bang for the buck back when we grabbed em.

I'm looking at going this direction for my next one. PVA barreled action Great deal, and apparently good shooters. If you already have a stock or chassis, it's an even better deal.

I don't think that's the route I'd go for a hunting rifle. You'll be looking at an almost 6lb barreled action by the time you add bottom metal, mag, and a #4 Brux contour barrel. You'll be close to 9lbs if not over by the time you add a stock and optics.

24” Proof CF, 1:7.5 twist. It’s a drill with 108gr Hybrids and one of my favorite rifles. I have been impressed with how well it performs on deer and hogs. It “acts” much larger than it is.

I have some 108 Booger HighBirds headed for the house and will fling some in my Accuracy International AT-X Seex Kreed. I've never liked Boogers on Critters,but they tend to shoot well. Hint.
If I toss the K&P 7" Dasher spout on my Accuracy International AT,I'll try them there too. Hint.
112's are fhuqking AMAZING and a Booger can't even begin to touch them in flight characteristics. Hint...............
