[QUOTE="bultinkle, post: 2831969, member: 122809"] [B]I [/B]would buy a tikka ctr in 6.5 creedmoor and toss it in a manners or ag stock you find used in classifieds and shoot the daylights out of it. A 6.5 prc is the same exact bullet you’re just extending your impact velocity threshold with more powder. This costs more in every way possible, and unless you are actively needing that range within the threshold you increased it’s doing nothing but burning a hole in your pocket. the tikka already has a great trigger, and a 10$ spring makes it even lighter. Plus the action will be able to transition to any short mag if you decide you do need more horsepower. If that day comes, factory tikka takeoff barrels are plentiful and cheap, you can commonly find d18 contour fluted 6.5prc barrels under 200$ Don’t blow all your money on your rifle, blow it on [I]shooting[/I] your rifle [/QUOTE]
