Which Rifle

[maverick2]

I’m leaning towards the 6.5 Creedmoor myself.

I had a 6.5 CM and loved it for what you are planning on doing with this rifle. (I preferred it over the 25-06 I had.) One of the things I noticed with the 6.5 CM is it doesn't seem very particular about the ammo I put thru it. That rifle seemed to shoot 0.3 to 0.5 MOA with whatever I fed it, which is kind of nice for those times if/when you have to shoot factory ammo.

Got the hankering for another rifle.
I’ve got 5.56 rifle and pistol, 6.5 Grendel rifle, 300 Blackout pistol, my main rifle is a .338 Win Maggie, backed up by a 45-70.

So I’m debating between a .375 Ruger and something on the lighter, less expensive end, like a 6.5 Creedmoor, 7-08, or something else.

What do you all suggest?

Ended up getting both the .375 Ruger and the 6.5 Creedmoor.

It’s December and I’m Alaska bound in January.

May you walk softly and carry a big "stick" as you walk under those "Whispering Pines"!

But I’ll fight all the way as a “Johnny Reb”.

Will also add a .416 Taylor to the mix.

There's no replacement for displacement!
