Re: pick a 6.5 right now

I don't have either of the two you mentioned and the 6.5CM is cool I'm sure but doesn't the 260 just have alot more support behind it? I may be wrong....

Of those two in a Bolt Rifle I would go 260. Add another option and my next rifle will likely be a 6.5x47 unless I gain some brains and go with the 260. AR-10 then I would do the CM.

Reread the conditions:

260

Re: pick a 6.5 right now

Out of the 2 that I shot... the Creedmoor would have to be my first choice. Easier on the recoil impulse, and appeared to be the more accurate of the 2. The 260 was very very picky, and wasn't as accurate.

I am sure that you could spend the time with the 260 and make it perform better, but I don't want to have to work out all the details to get it shooting right.

I still prefer my 243 over either of them though.

It is a 260 now, 24" threaded 5/8-24 with seamless SS thread protector.
$1675 today, $1725 tomorrow if I shoot it and provide a test target

Thank you for your input, I'll try to do a creedmoor next week
