What do you guys think that have one or know about this caliber? I was going to go custom, but I bet there is a pretty good production gun out there. Thanks for helping

Create a channel Learn moreThe most accurate 6.5 Creedmoor out there is the one that you've got good dope on.
As far as production rifle in 6.5CM goes, you won't be able to beat the Savage Model 12LRP.
I'm not getting into a "who's rifle is better" discussion...obviously, the customs are the shit, whichever one you were to go with. I read "production rifle" as "mass produced/factory rifle." And on that note, OP, you won't find any other bolt action, factory 6.5CM outside of Savage, T/C, and Ruger.
FN is rumored to have a 6.5 out soon.
No way. Desert Tech Inc 6.5. .5 moa right out of the box. Slap a good scope on it and you're set.
Good alternative is the AI AT in 6.5 creedmoor.

If you are on somewhat of a budget or don't want to drop a lot of money go with the 12LRP. If money is not the concern go with an AI. My 12 LRP is very good for the price but does it compare to my AI, no and I would hope it would not as the price differential is rather significant.
I am looking for bolt action. No budget, except that most mass produced rifles are gonna max at a little over a grand IMO. I just wanna grab one off a shelf, bed and throw in a new trigger.

Buy a used custom build built from a reputable smith. I got mine like this 5 years ago and liked it so much I never upgraded. Near as I can figured I paid about $1300-$1400 less than what it would have sold for new. All along I could have resold it for what I paid for it or even a little more if I had changed my mind.
Earlier this year I had the 4th and 5th barrel made up it.
There are some very nice customs in the $2000 range in the SH classifieds right now. 260 Rem and 6.5x47L should also be considered.
Perfect, that's the one then! Will Bass Pro have it or will I have to get it at Bud's gun shop?
Gap 6.5 creedmor
Pretty damn accurate
That's some fine shooting sir. What's your load and loading process like?

Ive been wanting one of these but havent found any for sale recently. My other choices are between savage 11 and the new ruger american predator in 6.5cm. Im going for a budget build.I have a weatherby vanguard s2 in 6.5cm. Picked it up at cabelas on sale for $400. Shoots great. Although I use it as a hunting rifle. I use my xlr 6.5 for target shooting.

We have been real pleased with the AI's with the 6.5 Bartlein Barrels. This pic is with an AI AX, 6.5 Bartlein Barrel, threaded, shooting Hornady 6.5 CM 140 grain Factory Loads, off a bench, inside at 100 yds.

You have the new ruger american predator ? Can you be more detailed how you like it. Im debating between that and the weatherby. Both are close in price.And Weatherby, and Browning. All are rifles of a bit different sort than the AI or various others mentioned here. I got rid of my Savage Creedmoor and now have a Ruger. It's a great general-purpose rifle. I don't use it as a match gun, or at least I haven't. It's job is hunting, plinking out to 700 yards or so, and being extremely durable. It shoots comparably to the former Savage, but doesn't deteriorate on me after a box or two of ammo, like the former did.

I have the M77 Hawkeye Predator. I tried to get an American Predator to go along with it, but they were all gone before I received the email notification.
