[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1325801, member: 54178"] I have two 6.5 Creedmor rifles: 1. COMPETITION-> Ruger Precision Rifle 2. HUNTING-> Ruger American Predator (Boyd's Classic laminated stock & Timney trigger upgrades) Both are great, flat shooting rifles and the RAP is becoming my main rifle for western hunting - except for bull elk. I reserve my .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt for that. If you plan to shoot a lot and want long barrel life and reasonable cartridge cost stick with 6.5 CM. But... if you want knockdown power at very long ranges get a 6.5/284 Norma. Shorter barrel life, true, but if it's a hunting rifle you'll have no problem. A thousand rounds through a big game rifle is very unusual. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
