The rifle came with a 3x9 Weaver so I should probably just go ahead and sight in at 1,000 yds..Right?
Omg - i have a cm! help!

Do 1250 so there's at least some mid range trajectory. You can still hold on hair out to 1600 I would think.

Lol its probably bore sighted from the factory so you should be on paper at 1000 already

Don't look down the muzzle!! If that pixsey dust gets in your eyes, it hurts like hell. Or maybe it's the fumes from the witches brew in the bore. It actually casts a spell on the bullet as it leaves which makes it ballistically equal to a 300 WM.

I have a loooot of guns...all the way to rum and lapua.... But do you see what one has been stacking up meat? Savage 6.5. If you need meat dont overlook your new gun. Mine has served me well being lite and no muzzle brake. I dont have a unicorn pic yet but if i can get it inside 700 yards ill bet ya its dead. All the animals above were on shot kills out to 515yards. So its a "medium range" gun. Not bad through for *** scope that i dont have to dial. If it had a little more pixi dust id shoot more @ 750 yards..o well
Congratulations though. And give the little rings away to someone ya dont like and put a rail on it with the low weaver 6 hole rings. I built a lite spring for the accutrigger and get 3/4moa or better. The boyds stock is pilliar bedded with some little pillars so it seems to hold minut of rabbit head well.

This is bad , real bad ! Most of us have time to prepare for the arrival of a 6.5 CM because we choose to buy one but it your case it was thrust upon you. Here is what you need to do , get your head around you are now spoiled for ever and no other rifle will do! That savage will shoot right out of the box sub moa ( that's with out even mounting a scope on it) When I brought my gun home, 3 deer surrendered. Farmers would drop by with gifts because all the deer moved out of the area and they have no crop damage. My neighbors wave because they know that the neighborhood is safe ! I'm not sure but the local Pastor dropped by and told me I was now saved because choosing the CR is a choice of salvation. The local high school has ask me to be the commencement speaker at this years graduation ceremony. Be prepared women will lust for you men will admire you and children will now be in awe. Heavy is the CR crown! Congratulations

I have to admit, while I own 2 CMs, I got a big chuckle out of this banter. Sounds like someone will be getting a great deal on a new rifle, soon.

I once killed a rhinoceros in Africa with a 6.5 Creedmoor...from my back porch in Texas. Congrats on the new gun and the ability to hunt the world from your house!!!

I couldn't resist the fun with the CM chat but I do have 2 young grand daughters that will be very happy to have an adjustable stock rifle for their first deer gun. I have a Savage 110C .270 that I bought in 1968 (yes the year is correct) that I rebarreled last year that shoots incredibly well and has too much sentimental value to me to let it sit in safe versus the CM. Long range is handled by 300WM Sendero very nicely so the "girls" will have the "rights" to this rifle which I was actually thrilled to win since I knew right away they would be getting it.

Congratulations! About 9years ago I also won a Savage LRH in 6.5x284.......Though it no longer resembles it's original state, it has proven to be an exceptionally accurate, and reliable rifle.
LOL....Watch Out! That rifle was largely responsible for my adopting the 6.5x284 as my primary hunting cartridge which persists to this day.

Not wanting to disrespect NO ONE . But when I was a sniper in naum I made the worlds longest shot with the 6.5 creed. Pulled the trigger and 3 yes 3 sunsets later the bullet struck right between the ears. As planned. Congrats on the new addition though
