OK, a silly 6.5 Creed question, which to buy ?

[hemiford]

Well maybe not too silly.
Seriously considering buying a 6.5 Creed factory bolt rifle of some sort. I have a number of
project rifles but I don't want this one to be a project at all. Just buy and shoot, factory ammo even.
No particular goals otherwise.
Rem 700 ?
Tikka ?
Bergara ?
???
I'm being earnest, really ! And hopefully not obnoxious in even asking ! This would be a girlfriend rifle.
Really.
Budget ? I don't know.

personally I want a sig cross in 6.5. My excuse was for the children. Seemed like a good excuse to me

Tikka all the way my 6.5 creed Tikka shoots most factory ammo about 1/2"-3/4" groups if I'm doing my part but worst factory ammo groups I've had have been about 1-1/2" to 2" groups

I picked up a Savage Axis 2 in this caliber for my boy, ridiculously accurate which I tend to find most Savage offerings. A tikka action is always nice and they are certainly accurate as well. Good luck!

Tilkka CTR or super varmint.

Savage 110 Predator

I'd add savage 110 ultra lite

A Tikka 6.5 creed is one of the surest gun bets you can make. Even the lites shot very well. Zero load development on these groups:

The Springfield 2020 looks pretty good to me.

Tagging in. My "girlfriend" was wanting one of them 6.5 CM sissy rifles also.
Hopefully my wife doesn't see this post.

How serious is the "girlfriend" relationship?

You want to win major points? Build her a custom.

I can win points in other ways. I just don't want everything under the sun to turn into another GD project.
