[QUOTE="7mmRemMag, post: 1327524, member: 14122"] It seems that our local Academy Sports and outdoors has been catering to 6.5 Creedmoor shooters lately with the reloading supplies available. I didn't want to break the bank buying one so I ordered one off the Sportsman's guide since it was on sale for $284. It's the bolt action Thompson Center Compass. I picked it up from my FFL dealer today, threw a Vortex Crossfire II 4x12x44 on it, picked up the cheapest Ammo i can find (Hornady Black 140gr BTHP) just so I can sight it in and shoot it! It shot about 1 1/4 MOA with the factory loads after zeroing so I went up 17MOA and took a crack at my 700 yard gong (just cause it was up) the two shots I took were within 1 inch of each other at 700 yards. Not bad for a cheap rifle with a match grade barrel......to top it all off it has a $75 dollar rebate so I end up paying $209. I'm hoping to get my hands on some 142gr accubond LR because of the extremely high BC's so I can work up a load for this little rifle. So far so good! [/QUOTE]
