I feel the same way about my 6.5 Creedmoor. I have only pulled my 308 out one time since I got my LRP. It weighs more and is less handy than the 308 yet I still would rather shoot it. I am a stickler for accuracy though and this rifle does it. I can shoot less than .5 MOA out to 600. I havnt shot any further than that yet. Me or any of my shooting buddies cannot match it with the 308. I know somebody probably can, but look how many 308's were in the PRS last year. (1)
This is not the first time I have seen that!^^
Though I have never shot any of the 6mm cartridges, there is a draw to them just from what I've learned. I'm honestly well enough of a shot to make a difference. For now I will practice. For some reason the money doesn't come quite as fast as it goes....
Yep (in the voice of Hank Hill)
22-243RR
I can't decide if I should paint it or not.

Now, that`ll reach out there.
Did You build that for coyotes ??? or for punchin paper, or Yeah ???
My youngest Boy-Child put together a 6mm-06 on a M1917 receiver, He was into the coyote scene until He moved to Alaska.
Now, in Alaska, they do have a lot of coyotes, but, if You go out to call them in, well, there`s bigger things than coyotes that might come lookin to see what all the commotion is about. LOL
I built it strictly as a coyote rifle. Mainly a calling contest rifle. 80 gr at 3500-3700 should reach out there.

This rifle had already been sporterized, before I bought it.
Springfield 03A3 and chambered for the 30~338 magnum. Stock is glass bedded and was on the rifle when I purchased it.
A mighty fine shooter that does`nt kick hardly any at all, more of a push.
The scope is a BSA 3-16 X 40 with military style line marked cross hairs. Not the best scope on the market but it seems to work quite well on this rifle.
No cartridges on the stores shelves for this one, neck down the .338 Win Magnum casings.
An old box of Military 30-06 Match grade cartridges.
Mrs. Mousey, My main help when swabbing barrels.
Ruger 556 with gas assisted piston. GG&G tactical bipod. 100 round drum mag. Eotech front dot with a Burris 3x magnifier on a Larue tactical flip to the side mount. Easy to shoot.
My Axis .308
My stock Savage 11 'HogHunter' in .308
Muller 4.5-14x40 APT (Mil-Dot)
Weaver 20 MOA riser/base
Cheap UTG Quad-Lock rings.. & Cheap 9-13" Bi-Pod..
500 and 750 yard shot gongs..(using Federal 168gr OTM ammo)
Its amazing to still see this thread going. Although its title has been modified and people are still harping over a very full single beer next to my original picture many many years later.... One of my ladies has gotten some new jewelery so it would seem it is time to show an updated picture of the 6.5creedmoor. Full power loads sound a bit like a 22 mag and subsonics sound like a cap gun. The bullet hitting the target is so much louder.

It is a .308 Savage 11VT (Dick's SG special) I bedded in a Boyd's Tacticool laminate stock using acraglass. I painted the stock Rustoleum OD and added the Mathew's Kydex adjustable cheek rest (from Amazon). I upgraded to the limbsaver pad when I bought the stock. I also added the Savage oversized bolt handle (it was a take-off from someone else's build). The scope is an SWFA fixed 16x on an EGW 20MOA base in SWFA low rings. The bipod is some cheapo midway special I just threw on there to help with the pictures (I normally shoot off a Caldwell front rest).
Hahaha yes... I was wondering if anyone would notice. Klaus is a curious cat that must touch anything new to him. He jumped up and tapped the barrel in perfect timing with this photo which was set on a tripod and using a time delay since I didn't have a remote switch handy. In other words, the timing was hilarious because he had .4 seconds to jump into the frame and I had no control over when I actually snapped the photo due to the time delay.
