    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    You have a link? I've heard rumors of a 130 hybrid in the works. I thought the hybrids were for varmints or targets.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Amazing. I've been thinking about doing a 7mm build for hunting using berger 180. I want a do it all hunting rifle that could still shoot paper/steel out to a mile. Thinking this 6.5 saum is the way to go. I've already started a creedmoor build, so sticking with a 6.5 caliber for hunting would...

    Accuracy vs Cost, Please Help

    7mm mag in a rem xcr ii or a tikka t3. Top it with a nightforce. Use hsm 168 loaded ammo. Done.

    One rifle and only one rifle

    Reviving this thread. My vote would be a 7mm Remington mag head spaced off the shoulder. Would not be the funnest gun to shoot, but it does it all. Plenty of available ammo. Great ballistics. Kill any game in north America. Apparently a great paper puncher out to 1500 yards. Stick with berger...

    Anyone for see other companies jumping on the creedmoor bandwagon? What gun company would most likely be next to start producing a factory 6.5 creed in the future? Did savage and ruger unveil these new chambers at shotshow when they were first released?

    Optimal Twist for 6.5CM and 260 Rem

    Anyone using a lilja 3 groove barrel on their 6.5? I was talking to a respected gunsmith in my area yesterday and he highly recommended a 3 groove lilja for a 6.5 creedmoor. If anyone is using one chambered in a 6.5, let us know your specs and how it shoots!

    Midway has 6.5 creedmor for 25$ on clearance

    Has anyone had problems in the check-out on midwayusa website? In the shipping section when checking out, it won't except any zip codes to ship to. I can't get passed the shipping section. It says my zip codes are invalid.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Dbowhunter, thanks for taking the time to document your build. That was a fun read, I was smiling the whole time. I love your setup. I'm wanting to do something similar. I feel like I'm in the situation you were in before your build. I'm trying to decide on going all out and getting a surgeon...

    You have 5r rifling Mike? And by chance, do you have any load data for the berger 130's? Sorry for all the questions.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm planning on having a custom build done in a 6.5 creedmoor over this winter. I can't decide between a 8" or 8.5" twist barrel. I'm thinking of just sticking with a 26" barrel. How much will the tighter 8" twist affect velocity over a 8.5"? Will it be much slower. I would like sling berger 140...
