[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1235231, member: 74902"] Understood. I would check out the new Ruger Hawkeye FTW in 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a lot of rifle for the dollar and would probably be cheaper than the Tikka with a new stock and lug. + it would have a 24" barrel and removable brake. It just doesn't get much better than that. Also, Don't know if you have heard, but Lapua is bringing out 6.5 Creedmoor brass at 2017 SHOT. It is supposed to use a small primer pocket like their Palma and 6.5x47 stuff. This is a pretty big development with the Creedmoor. It will allow higher pressures and brass life at the same time and should be incredibly popular.. I wouldn't be shopping around for a 260 or 6.5X55 with the Lapua Creedmoor brass coming to the table. Unfortunately, Tikka doesn't do the Creed. [/QUOTE]
