So, my dad says to me....I want a 6.5 Creedmoor....I’m like ok. For what?
Fast forward......
He seems to be looking for a bolt action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. He also kind of likes the BLR rifle.
Bolt or lever action....he’s pretty traditional
Scope only, no sights.....
Synthetic stock
0.75” groups at 100 yds
Adjustable or good trigger....2-3lb crisp trigger
6.5-7.5 lbs before scope
Maybe $1000-$1200 or so total, so maybe $400-800 rifle.
Looking at Savage, but I don’t really like most of today’s rifles from them.
T/C Compass looks ok
Howa 1500 looks great to me, but so-so to him
He really likes his Tikka T3...
What about the Mauser 18 or Sauer??
He lives near some good gunsmiths do a semi custom is possible.
