[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1235214, member: 74902"] Give up on Remington CDL SF? I don't shoot ALL of these but have much experience with the ole 6.5 Creedmoor. My advise would be not to get a lower powdered 6.5 anything, with a 22.5 in. barrel, for long range antelope and mule deer. They can use the longer barrel for additional speed. It just helps. Even if it's just 1.5 Inches extra. That will probably give you about 75 extra FPS I would recommend an American made rifle like the Savage Predator Hunter Max 1 (24") or the Savage Long Range Hunter (24") I know what they say, "Tikka actions are like butter." What they don't tell you is that the stock feels like it has butter on it and the action slides around in the stock like butter too! With a Savage you could actually replace the barrel yourself with a nice 26" custom barrel and then really be hitting stuff waaaay out there. Plus BOTH of the Savage's are available in 260. They also have longer mags to allow you to seat bullets much further out. [/QUOTE]
