[QUOTE="GAHunterJim, post: 2754444, member: 125006"] Before buying a CM, I owned a number of 6.5s, including 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 6.5-06 (wildcat) and 264 Win Mag, I eventually got bored with them and sold them all, figuring my 270 would do anything a 6.5 would do. I eventually came back around when the CM hype peaked and thought I'd give the CM a try in a Christensen Arms Ridgeline. I liked the rifle and round but decided it was not for me and sold it, moving on to other things. I did a DIY build (really assembly of parts) with a Tenacity/Proof pre-fit/McMillan in 308, like it so much I decided to do another. The CM gets a lot of press, some good, some not so good but it's really a great little cartridge. I "assembled" the one on the photo for three reasons (maybe more). 1) easy and fun to shoot, not too much recoil if you intend to shoot it a lot 2) ammo is readily available and affordable, at least compared to other chamberings 3) it's entirely capable for deer sized big game (I know others use it for elk but I don't live in elk country and I have other chamberings for that) [/QUOTE]
