[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1198460, member: 54178"] I have two Ruger rifles in 6.5 CM, a target Ruger Precision Rifle and a hunting Ruger American Predator. I'm "upgrading" the Predator with a Boyd's laminated stock, Timney trigger and a nice SWFA 5-14 x 42 scope (FFP, mil/mil and parallax/focus knob). I think it's fine for mule deer and probably a bit marginal for elk. Anyone here shot an elk with this 6.5 CM cartridge? (I realize a 6.5/284 or similar would be "kinda adequate" for elk, with the greater velocity & energy on target.) I have a Browning A-Bolt in .300 Win mag but it's a heavy sucker. But If I draw an elk tag in Nevada's lottery I may use it. I'm really liking the flat shooting 6.5 CM on range days. Easy hits on steel to 850 meters. And My Ruger Precision Rifle is a tack driver but [I]far[/I] too heavy for all but stand hunting. [/QUOTE]
