[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2490698, member: 118816"] Well there are going to be a lot of opinions on what they think that you want. The 6.5 CM is primarily a match round that has had a lot of notice as a hunting round. It is however a bit deficient when it comes to energy at hunting ranges. Doesn't take much to punch a hole in paper, but a Deer or Elk is a lot tougher than a piece of paper. A 270 kicks the 6.5's butt out to around 600 yards and is an excellent Deer/Elk cartridge but there is currently no match ammo or bullets available for reloading. Not that many of the hunting bullets are lacking in accuracy. My Tikka T3X shoots sum MOA groups all day with Nosler Partitions, but shoots even smaller groups with pointed soft points or all copper bullets. A good overall choice would be a Tikka T3X Varmint chambered for 30-06. Model TFTT3119A10C0G4B comes with a longer barrel 23.7 inches and a heavy varmint weight barrel. The 30-06 has been around since 1906 (116 years). Ammo is readily available almost everywhere in a variety of bullets from 110 to 220 grain. There are a great variety of bullets available for reloading for anything you want to do including awesome match grade bullets. 1000 yards is an easy shot for the 30-06 and with the right ammo is great for use on anything on the North American Continent and most of what is out there all over the world. You might have some trouble locating this rifle but even if it has to be ordered and you have to wait it will be worth the wait. [/QUOTE]
