[QUOTE="AZ Wildcat, post: 1922687, member: 91309"] I would also strongly recommend the Tikka CTR in 6.5 CM. I picked one up in a trade not long ago. I'd never owned a Tikka nor a 6.5 Creed, and I planned on selling it but decided to shoot it a little first. After getting it sighted in my first 3 shots at 100 yards were 1/2". Later I moved to 200 yards and easily and repeatedly fired groups under 1". This is with factory ammo (Hornady Superformance w/129 gr SST bullets @ ~2,785 fps). I don't shoot a ton and those groups are about the best I can hope to shoot, but with this rifle they were easy. In one day this rifle went from an afterthought to my go-to deer gun. With the scope mounted this rifle weighs a little less than 8 1/2 pounds. I couldn't be more impressed with the Tikka CTR. [/QUOTE]
