Can't seem to find one in 6.5 Creed.

I suppose they only make it in 260? Sorry.
What about a sako a7 roughtech pro. I have the roughtech range in 6.5 creed. Awesome shooting gun. Sub Moa with anything I've fed it.

I'm wondering when tikka rolls out this years products they might start making 6.5 cm

I got a decent piece, my buddy does woodwork and liked it. Hard to see all of it with the buttstock cover but its pretty nice for stock.

Yeah there's still the occasional nice piece that comes out. I bought a new cz452 22 last year, gorgeous wood, most czs r pretty plain walnut

The roughneck looks interesting, can't tell if it is a bdl, or mag setup.

It's a mag designed to be top loaded also. So you can top load it like a bdl, but I usually just drop the mag. Unlike the tikka it is a true short action. My mag can fit a creedmoor shell at 2.89" coal. It's also a triple lug bolt

There's this one but it only has a 20" barrel.

I think he meant the stainless fluted wood stock model

Started load development with 143 eldx out of my sako a7. Did a ladder test seen some promise at a node. Loaded up five shots and produced this group

Looking to put together a rifle for my nephew, and think the 6.5 Creed would be a good start for him.
I have never owned aTikka, so am unfamiliar with them. From what I have read, they seem to be well liked. However, I do not like the plastic Tupperware stock.
What stock choices do board members choose?
Also, do you need to change the trigger on these?
So, give me input on how you would setup a light weight 6.5 Creed build.

Trying to do this build on a budget, so if there are other rifle brand choices I should look at in this caliber, please feel free to make your recommendations.

T3x in 6.5 CM tonight at Cabelas was $629. Add this B&C stock similar to one on A7 and budget oriented. I have both and they both are sub moa. Trigger is not a jewel but for factory it is more than adequate. Trigger is also easily adjustable.

Started? I'd say you're done.

I have to admit to thinking the same thing. Very interesting rig particularly at that price point.

Yeah did a ladder test, thought I saw a node, loaded 5 and shot that group. Wasn't impressed with es, but I don't have a very good chrony so I'm gonna shoot at long range and see what vertical dispersion I end up with.
