Most accurate factory rifle for the 6.5 CM

[emp1953]

Im looking for a new factory rifle in the 6.5 CM The one issue I have is that im 6' 5" so a LOP of 13.5 is like shooting a youth rifle. I can do with a 13.75 but not less than that.
Just like everyone else on this site the most important thing is accuracy. Id like to spend up to $1800 any help would be appreciated

https://savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=57563 Price is around 1600.

This puppy is very accurate.

I assume you're looking for a hunting rifle not a heavy tactical or target rifle. If so, consider the Savage 110 Timberline or High Country and use the money you save to upgrade your scope.

110 High Country in True Timber Strata | Savage Arms

The 110 High Country is built for the toughest terrain. Features a True Timber Strata stock, spiral-fluted barrel, protective Cerakote finish, and AccuFit.

Tikka. Very accurate. Smooth smooth bolt.
You can operate bolt with 1 finger. Super quite bolt. No brainer for a gun out of the box , no need to make any changes after you buy it. Marty

It was not mentioned whether this was for hunting or tactical/long range work. For hunting I would recommend a Tikka T3x to keep the weight down. For a good tactical/long range (if a 6.5 CM can be considered a long range cartridge???), a Ruger Precision Rifle Gen 2 has not been mentioned so I though I would throw it into the ring for consideration. I'm a rather large guy with long arms and need a 14.5" LOP and found their adjustable tactical stock to fit well. I was shooting it at the range this past Sunday and came up with this 5 shot group at 100 yards with Nosler brass, Federal 210 primer, 40.0 grains of IMR4350 (that was all I have for now) and a 140 grain Hornady ELD-M bullet. It put a smile on my face .

I think I would spend another $700-$1000 and find a gunmaker to build off a Rem 700 action with choice of stock, barrel and trigger. That way you could speak to the stock makers and have them fix you up.

First Tikka T3x I bought shot sub .5 MOA, shooting Norma "match" factory ammo. So impressed, I bought another. It was not quite as good, had to work to keep it at .5MOA. All in all, a very accurate rifle out of the box. LOP on mine is 13.75", not including spacers you can add.

Seekin Havak Hit. $2100. Spend the extra 400 but you can adjust it to fit you and it will out shoot you.

Factory to me is one of The big dogs turning out truckloads of one model a month. The most accurate Factory 6.5 SIM HELL ANY GUN IN ANY CHAMBERING I ever saw was a Howa Chasis rifle (American Flag Version). Have to tell the story. There were three of us gun geeks testing loads and another guy we know showed up. He is not a gun geek .....at all as in very very inexperienced and few skills. He was waiting and chatting and did not want to shoot saying it would take him too long. Eventually we talked him into it and he was kind off all over the place. He was shooting some 140gr he bought off the internet can't remember the brand. He asked us if we would shoot it and one guy did initially. On his second shot a lot of curse words, and telling the owner it sucked but some guns need certain ammo to shoot. Based on the owners groups (5-6") we all thought the second shot was at least 5" out. The shooters ego was in the way and he asked if he could shoot it again with a clean target. That freaking rifle would shoot under .2's/5 all day long!!! We told him to get his butt home right now, borrow money if he had to, and buy as much of that ammo as he possibly could!!!

Ok, now the real answer. GET A SAVAGE, BROWNING, OR TIKKA.

I've always been a die hard Rem 700 fan and still am, but it's hard to go wrong with a Tikka and can be had for $650-ish and up depending on your budget. And there's a huge amount of support regarding after market parts for them

Tikka is made in the same factory as Sako. The production lines are next to each other. Tikka is a quality piece.

I have a Savage Ashberry I don't think they make it any longer but the Elite precision is pretty close. I also have a Bergara HMR Pro both are very accurate out of the box rifles. I shoot at 1000 yds often and I enjoy both these rifles.
