New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle
Re: New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle Thank you, great simple analysis! I think the 6.5 CM looks promising, a soon as I have the skill set to do so, I will most definitely push things as far out as I can go. The challenge of making difficult shots out at that range intrigues...- btravis1217

New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle
Re: New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle So this 6.5 Creedmoor, why do you love it so much? I'm not dead-set on a .308, if you could offer some insight into why it works so well I can check into it for sure. It sounds pretty sweet from some of the comments I have heard. Thanks!- btravis1217

New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle
Re: New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle Could you elaborate please? I'm not exactly sure what you are getting at, I was under the impression that .308/ 7.62 was able to push out close to a 1000yds in the hands of a skilled marksman, which I am definitely not claiming to be, but...- btravis1217

New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle
Re: New Member! Looking for thoughts on my first rifle Thanks JelloStorm! Great feedback! The reason I was opting for a stock is I heard the flex on the sps tactical was a bit extreme, but you're right in that I should set up the rail, rings, optics and the base rifle first and see how she...- btravis1217
