Please talk me out of buying a 6.5 creedmoor.

Sooo is it gonna be purple camo or solid purple on the stock? Gonna get a stamp and get a can for it to make it more pleasant on the ears for the kiddo?

If you can wait the US Military is going to start using 6.8 x 51 which has similar/better ballistics.

If it is for your daughter then why not let her decide? She seems to know guns very well.

The stock in question is the Boyds At-One stock. Laminate wood with a few options on color.
I'm assuming she will pick the purple because everything else she has is.

As far as a suppressor, i have a Hybrid 46, but should have an Evo Harvester in hand soon. It's lighter, shorter and 30 cal. So

This would be for my youngest who knows nothing about guns.
I refer to her as "my liberal".
Untill recently she has been opposed to going shooting with me and prefers shooting her bow in the backyard.
She had a change of heart recently and wants to go.

The 6.5x55 Swedish, the original 6.5! Still one of the great 6.5 cartridges.

243 or want something modern 6mm creedmoor. If you load your own.

I like the caliber but hate the current lack of availability. When I do find any it is sky high! I have kinda back shelved that rifle for a while. I have it in a savage 12 LRP. It is a tack driver but costs a fair bit to get there. Another fine caliber for lower recoil is 257 Roberts.

First off, I like her already^^^^ That's been my passion for the past year.

2nd- That is going to be a rad setup with a can on the end. She'll love it!

3rd- Probably not a factor, but if you need more brass, I have a 5gal bucket of Hornady 6.5cm brass. If you find yourself needing more, I'll send ya a gallon freezer bag full.

Does it come with a matching purple Glock?

I have two daughters who love their 6.5CM. Their guns are nothing special, just Savage XP rifles. They shoot 129g Interlocks. Recoil is light, but the guns are very accurate. All deer shot with both guns were DRT.

 

[Dirtboss]

key word for the CM is bullet coefficient the design of that little guy lets it stay quite stable even at distance I have been using Barnes projectiles 143 grain and have held tight groups at 1000 yards……lately I’ve been experimenting with the 270 Winchester and am impressed at its versatility as well as lethality on big game !

Nothing wrong with a 6.5x47! I state this by not have read all post in this thread. I don't own 1, but would be a nice alternative to a 260rem (I do own), 6.5gren (I do own) or a 6.5creed (I do own). The only 26cal bolt gun I have is 2 264wm.

 

[G23c]

great caliber, but the .243 is a classic first deer rifle cartridge. cannot go wrong with either, enjoy!
