Hey guys I'm looking to buy a new savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP, Im looking for a flat shooting, light to moderate recoil hunting rifle. I've narrowed my choices down to either a 25-06, a 6.5 creedmoor, or a 7mm-08. The 25-06 is what I orignally had my sights fixed on until I read an article about the 6.5 CM and compared it's velocity. The 6.5 is faster with a whitetail sized grain, but the 7mm-08 is supposed to carry more energy, but the 6.5 is supposed to be the flattest shooting of the three. Then again the 25-06 can be used for prairie dogs up to whitetails. I'm looking to use this rifle on coyotes, whitetais, and maybe some mulleys! Anyone have and experience with the 6.5 CM? Will it out preform the 7mm-08?
