[QUOTE="PureTexan, post: 897539, member: 27995"] This subject has probably been best to death but I'm going to ask anyways. I am in the market for a 6.5 CM. 800 yards max right now. My first option would be a Rem 700 action but since Remington doesn't build a 6.5 in a factory option, that's out. My next choice would be the Ruger Predator. This would be close to the perfect setup for me since my rifle is going to pull double duty as a long range target gun and also my hunting rifle. The only thing that bothers me about the Ruger is the integrated scope rings. I'm not sure if I can get the distance I want out of these and I'm not sure Ruger barrels can deliver the accuracy I want. Savage has some nice offerings but I've never owned a Savage and I'm not sure I would like the actions. I like the looks of the Savage FCP- SR but it's 308 only. I guess I could rebarrel to 6.5 CM but that's even more wait time. The Savage LRP would be a little to heavy for the hunting part but would work great for the target side of my plan. Is there any rifles out there I'm missing? Any help would be great. I also have access to a reloader, so factory ammo is not the only option. [/QUOTE]
