Simply put, my one time experience with one, and the number of complaints I've read about - I just don't feel comfortable buying one as a gift, that may immediately turn into a gunsmith bill for my old man.

I have three boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor ammo for sale: Hornady Precision Hunter - 143 gr ELD-X ($60) Sierra GameChanger - 130 gr TGK ($40) Federal Premium - 130 gr Terminal Ascent ($60) If you take all three boxes you can take them all for $150 shipped. For individual boxes I will tack on $10 to...

So an update to those invested on this - I went in a completely different direction, 6.5 PRC from Bergara (B-14 wilderness terrain). I'll probably drop a new trigger in it for him and do all the cleanup for him as well as any lapping/bedding. Thanks for the input everyone!

In this case, I don't think it's a consideration - he bench shoots a little bit but, for something like this he would never get enough rounds through it to worry about given it would primarily be a hunting rifle.

If I remember correctly, his Marlin 30-30 is like that as well...I don't remember seeing a safety on that either.

Iron sights, no. He would run an optic on there of some sort. He runs/owns a pretty good sized farm so there is plenty of opportunity for him to stretch the legs out on any rifle he carries around out there.

Thank you sir.

I shot one of my uncle's, he has a 30-06 BLR, and if it was my gun, I would have shot it once and sent it straight to a smith - I couldn't believe how hard the trigger pull was on it, and per him - it's just not a very accurate gun after trying many different ammo loads through it. Obviously...

Thank you for the reply - I know going to a bolt would solve a few problems but he still does some old school deer drives and pretty much means you gotta go something like a lever, pump, semi-auto...etc.

I don't know much about them - anything you would nitpick about it 308win?

Sorry If this is in the wrong spot, I'm still pretty new to LRH. I am looking a christmas present for my dad, who cut his teeth hunting whitetail with a Marlin 30-30 lever action. So fast forward to now, and I saw the Henry Long Ranger chambered in 6.5 creedmoor and thought it may be exactly...

Thank you for the reply Boom.

Is all of your 300 RUM brass gone?
