[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1143522, member: 27307"] woodcr24, The difference is the action length when you shoot the Swede as it's supposed to. The original Mauser M98 was an intermediate action as was the Swedish M96. This allowed for the exceptionally long, heavy military bullets to be loaded. Defiance makes a bolt action version of this for the hunters. They can even put a Mauser/Winchester style extractor on it along with a 3-position safety ala Winchester. Take a look at the PRS blog with more details about how many rifles are chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor in some of the best competitions in the U.S. [url=http://precisionrifleblog.com/tag/prs/]PRS Archives - PrecisionRifleBlog.com[/url] The 6.5 Creedmoor is superb for the semi-auto AR platform. Accuracy can be excellent if you have the right builder. Tyler Kemp has made an excellent video shooting a GAP10 chambered for this cartridge. You can contact him through this website, he's a member here. Here is a comparison article full of good reading: [URL="http://www.accurateshooter.com/tactical/6-5-creedmoor-for-tactical-competition/"]http://www.accurateshooter.com/tactical/6-5-creedmoor-for-tactical-competition/[/URL] Regards.
