I didn't think I needed one either until decided I wanted to try some 1000 yd shoots. Don't know if I really needed but I got it anyway. Works very well so far. Never used it for hunting.

Don't own 1 but have shot a few. It's a.good caliber but nothing to throw away.
All the old stand bys...lol It has got a lot of people into shooting longer range
just because of all the hype. Not a bad thing, we need all we can get to take up
shooting these days.

scuba- we’ve put a pile of rounds through some old Swedish mausers around here! Back in the day you could buy them by the pallet for next to nothing. The surplus ammo started getting next to impossible to find though.

Don't have one, but maybe sometime. A man always needs another rifle.

That is it, but like ohers have said the 264 win is the only 6.5 call I have, actually 3 in the model 70. The newest is the all weather extreme good shooting guns and do the job out to 650 the farthest I've took it to on a whitetail.
I'm looking into a 6.5× 284 Norma for a new distance be gun for something different, just have to figure out how I want to build it out

I built one on a Savage 10 I got super cheap. It's a fun gun very accurate but I don't hunt with it. I've probably had it 2 years might have a box and a half of ammo through it.

6.5 creedmore is like meth to a gun owner........ I bought one new, a savage axis. Within a box of shells it was shooting dime sized groups. So, I decided to chase the dragon some more and bought another savage model 11 package. It also shoots very small groups.


Now is where it gets expensive, I had an idea, but haven't followed through yet. I need to build one.

Remington 788 is the action.
Haven't totally decided on the barrel yet.
Boyd's makes a really nice adjustable stock for the 788
Haven't decide on glass yet, I was leaning towards a Nikon monarch.

My gun Smith talked me out of it, he convinced me that for the money it wouldn't really be any better than what I had all ready.

I have to also confess I have considered an AR

I too like th 6.5 and have carried a 264 win many miles hunting. Took a Mulie in Colorado at 450 yds is my longest with it.
I just built a 260rem but only have break in shots thru it so far.

All of todays popular chamberings like the 270, 22-250, 308, 7mms rem mag ect. had " hype" around them when they came out, or they soon became obsolete.

pat, don't build one on a 788 action, the locking lugs are not designed for that kind of pressure which will lead to bolt lug compression, eventually leading to headspace issues.
