[QUOTE="Deleted member 115751, post: 2031552"] Like you I had not owned a 6.5CM rifle before. My personal favorite is the 270 Win but I also own rifles chambered in 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 308 Win, 7 mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag. I was considering adding a 25-06 Remington to my collection but found a good deal on a 6.5 CM from Howa so I bought that instead.

With a 1-in-8 twist a rifle chambered in 6.5 CM can stabilize much heavier bullets than a 25-06 rifle which usually comes with a 1-in-10 twist. So that's another reason I chose the Creedmor.
