$1000 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle
- Thread starter topslop1
- Start date
I went with a Tikka T3X CTR. Sub moa with American Gunner ammo (~.80 / rd) haven't tried it with match ammo yet since the cheap stuff has been pretty good.
I did the 20" stainless and running a TBAC 30P-1 though I have an Ultra 9 in 6.5 waiting for it's stamp
Cabelas in Acworth, GA has a bunch of Howa heavy barrel rifles on clearance and a few were 6.5 Creedmor. Not inventoried online. Various camo flavors.
I'm holding myself back from buying a 270 because literally that's the only rifle ammo in stock anywhere... and it's a great cartridge. And I don't know why I don't have one already.

Only thing holding me back on the Bergara was a post on here from 2017 from Terry on the Bergara's coming apart. Has this since been fixed?

Howa 1500 vs bergara HMR
Hello all, I am wanting to get a new rifle and considering those two options listed in the subject line. What is it exactly that I am looking for? Consistency and/or accuracy. I really don't have much to spend as I graduated college not too long ago and have started working in an entry level...

Also, if you look you can find Bergara HMR Pros with their Premier action (which is nice) for $1299-ish. I have one. I paid much less used (3 rounds through it) but the store said they'd sell me a new one for $1299 if I wanted to order a 6mm as well (which I was talking about with the guy).

1: Scope base coming loose. Their base design is terrible. This is on all models including the LRP Elite.
How is the design any different than any Remington? My scope base is installed with the same amount of screws any others is, torqued, loc-tited, and I have Seekins base with a recoil lug machined in (which isn't necessary for my point). It's not going anywhere. And isn't it the responsibility of the rifle's owner to, you know, check these things?
2: Stock bolts coming loose. Especially on the HMR models. Cheek rest hardware on the HMRs is terrible also.
It's a Rem 700 footprint action. If Bergara's are magically coming loose, then every Rem 700 in this type of stock will, too. Again, people who need to buy themselves a torque wrench and maintain their weapon.
3: More issues than acceptable with ejection.
Mine ejects even dummy rounds across a damn room.
