[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1747444, member: 52437"] Just one more thought on Savage. They have no accuracy guarantee. Out of 4 savage rifles I had one which would do no better than 3inch groups. I sent it back to them twice. They were able to get it to do a 2inch group and said that it was fine and would not replace the barrel. I ended up throwing a custom barrel on it for 400$ and now it shoots .25inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards. That is the only reason I mentioned the Christensen arms and Browning Hells Canyon LongRange. Any ways, Savage has left a sour taste in my mouth as far as customer service goes. That all being said, I think I did get the one rare lemon. They typically are very fine shooters. As far as 6.5prc vs 6.5creed it truly depends what your objective is. If you will be shooting a lot of rounds and only hunting deer sized game or smaller out to 600 yards, then id be going 6.5creedmore. If this will be a dedicated hunting rig with fewer rounds down the tube and you want a bit more speed (200fps more) then 6.5prc. If Elk is on the table for hunting, then id definitely get the 6.5prc over the 6.5creed no questions asked. From what I have read barrel life, if allowed to cool and such in between shots, should be in the 1200-1500 round count on the 6.5prc. If you do not allow to cool you could burn it out in under 600 rounds. I have both the 6.5cm and the 6.5prc and like them both. If factory ammo is all you will use, then keep in mind the 6.5prc is very limited on ammo choices right now and MAY always be limited if it doesn't take off. The 6.5cm has tons of ammo choices and is definitely here for the long haul. If I had to choose one I would get the 6.5prc because I like a little more speed than what the creed offers but I also reload and I am purchasing a couple hundred empty cases which should last me the life of this barrel if factory ammo goes the way of the Dodo.
