Howdy!

I’m currently using an 18” AR and single loading 75gr ELD-M handloads to ring 2/3 size silhouettes at 800 yards and would like to step up to a bolt gun in 6.5 Creedmoor. Being that I’m on a budget and after reading a lot of good things about the 12FV I’m thinking about picking one up in 6.5 Creedmoor. I’ve read that these rifles are very accurate either right out of the box or after ~100 rounds of fouling. The only real downside that I’ve seen mentioned is the blind mag. I’m not going to be competing in PRS matches or anything so the blind mag doesn’t bother me. After the discount Cabela’s gift cards and $100 rebate I’m looking at $230 out the door for this rifle. I already have a Vortex PST 6-24 FFP scope so all I’ll need is a 20 moa base and some rings.

Is there any reason why this rifle wouldn’t work for long range target shooting? Is there anything that I’m missing? Thanks in advance!
