[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2201348, member: 116486"] I make fun of it, maybe because of its cult following and because I don't follow the latest trend. This is a long range hunting forum and I read it for information. I don't "Hunt" at long range but I wish to learn some long range shooting skills. Parts of Europe have use the 6.5 swede for years on Moose, I expect they are not hunting at long range. I think the 6.5cm was designed for long range target because of its ballistics and the ammo, components availability and technology focus was on targeted toward target work. The hype and suggestions that imply its going to replace sniper rifles the world over keep coming. I'm sure it's capable in a military role against humans but a .223 set up for long range in a sniper's hands might be somewhat effective on enemy soldiers at a fair distance. It could be a step backward as the ranges are being extended with bigger rounds. Dialled correctly the bigger .308 is probably more effective than the 6.5. I'm sure it's capable and n it's class, most are but it's not for me and I don't have a use for one at the moment. [/QUOTE]
