Ok I'm really new here in the forums so if this already has a thread somewhere someone please let me know. But here's what I'm hoping to get opinions on:
I like to hunt deer, a lot, and I like to shoot from the bench, a lot. I've decided that for my purposes a 6.5 Creedmoor might just be the ticket. I know, I've read all the arguments of pros/cons and how much it resembles the 260 and such, but something a bit different is always fun too. Does such a rifle exist, that would be decent off the bench, yet not be so cumbersome out in the field, AND cost $1500 or less? Decent off the bench would be at least 1/2 to 1" at 100 yards or more out of the box and not cumbersome in the field would be a 26" barrel or less and no more than ten pounds tops. I realize it wouldn't be exactly the best of both worlds, I'd have to give up a little of the best of each one to find a compromise. Am I just pipe dreaming here or is there something off the shelf out there somewhere?
