6.5 creed in tikka ctr or browning hell's canyon in 6.5 prc ?

[bear52157]

looking at buying a new rifle what one would you buy?

I have a new savage high country in 6.5 creed and it shoots very well with 140 RDF'S and varget!

Without doubt the Hell's Canyon in 6.5 PRC! That rifle comes in a 7 twist. That and the added case capacity of the PRC cartridge would be perfect for the new 6.5 156 Gr. Berger bullets. Plus, it is just a much nicer rifle all the way around.

It will not shoot with the Tikka though. The 6.5 prc is a better caliber, I agree

do they shoot good tho ?

Not nearly as good as the Tikka...I own both!

I love Tikka's and have re-chambered my t3 6.5mm creedmore to 6.5 PRC and love it. but I don't think Tikka has a PRC chambering yet in 6.5 PRC, so I converted one of my T3 6.5 Creedmores to 6.5 PRS. The Browning Hells Canyon Long Range is cool looking, but my T3 conversion out the door cost $700 bucks and it shoots <1/2moa with Hornady147gr eld's and 153gr Atips, but it is $1700+ retail.

... at 612 yards with it. It was a 6.5 CM....

Holy crap, a 6.5 CM goes THAT FAR?!?!

What BARRELNUT said! The Browning Hell's Canyon X-Bolt has the same great action and trigger as my pricier 6.5 PRC X-Bolt Pro. Same great accuracy for less $$.
