Funny little round that 6.5
Was xmas shopping and stumbled across a gem of a left hand Tikka, stainless fluted and 6.5 Creedmore.
Put my Vx3 on it, have some Federal 140’s. See what happens. I regretted selling my Tikka 30-06. So I hope this is a shooter and is at least ok on deer.
Fingers crossed.

You are going too have fun with that one!
It's about as easy to load for as the 6.5X55 and the 260.

I have a Sako in 6.5cm, but held on to my T3 in 30.06 for the bigger stuff.
Since getting the 6.5 a couple years back (originally a 7-08 rebarrelled to 6.5cm) I have reached for the 6.5 every time.
It has fired five shots at game. 4 animals harvested (3 deer, one sheep), all one shot kills at ranges from 170-330yds.
The fifth shot was a clean miss, but that ain’t the fault of the cartridge:/
Have fun!

If someone wants to post a picture for me, i’ll text it or email it. It seems to fail to upload for me when I try.
Its the digital camo stock, fluted barrel one that feels real good with the Vx3 and tally rings.
I can’t wait to try it. Back to work this week, maybe next Sunday..

Things to ponder.
