Try JBM ballistics calculator. With the right bullets at almost 700 BC; the trajectory, wind drift and energy downrange makes the 6.5 CM superior to some of those magnums. Check out the Hornady 147 ELD.
No way would I have spent $1000. I think my stock was around $560. I've heard good things about B&C. My scope was $300, it's as good for long range as many high end scopes. It's a 10x42MQ SWFA SWFA SS 10x42 Tactical Riflescope | SWFA
Hope this helps.
Me too,but got tired of looking and ordered one from McMillan. Seemed like a long wait but not as long as waiting for one to come available.
Good luck with your search. Mines not for sale, just thought I'd post a pic to gander.
