I've been looking for/debating what to get recently. I'm needing a rifle that covers deer, moose, elk and black bear for a new and smaller stature shooter. For that reason I've eliminated the 30 cals, the 243 isn't my idea of a good cartridge to cover those (yes I know some have done it for years) and not sure about the 25's. Mostly been looking at the 6.5's - so 6.5x55, 260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor with a look at the 7mm-08 too. I'm most familiar with the 6.5x55 having shot it. Really like the 6.5's for the lighter recoil and high bc's. I don't know anyone that has a Creedmoor to ask about so am quite interested in what you guys have to say. |

Grey Wolf,when I was looking for a gun for my daughters to try deer hunting with I picked the .260 Rem, in a Ruger 77 Compact. It seemed to me the best balance of power and recoil. The girls never did get into hunting but I liked the cartridge, and gun, so much that I bought another .260 in a Remington 700. www.huntingnut.com/ind...amp;sid=59 The reason I have a 6.5 Creedmoor now is because the rifle I wanted (Ruger Precision) didn't come in .260 and I didn't want to buy one and have to swap the barrel out. |
