Why shoot a sissy rifle?

[levers4life]

Birddog, I want to thank you for being so brave. You've given me the courage.
I picked up an Axis II precision in "THAT CARTRIDGE"....but dang, it shoots for a cheap rifle! Ammo is cheap, brass is everywhere, it makes steel ring, I just can't talk about it to everyone.

Who doesn't like a cartridge in a off the shelf rifle to shoot like this?

I also caved to the propaganda.

really curious what Hornady will come out with next that will be hated more than the creedmore seems like PRCs are ok

My guess is the 338 ARC, to be far superior to the 8.6 Blackout.

Member of sissy club myself. Relatively recently joined when I got my Tikka T3X Super Varmint. Wanted something that would afford an opportunity to go to 1K yards if/ when my club range expands from 500 yards. Let's see. Relatively light recoil, readily available relatively good factory ammo ( my SV shoots " budget friendly " ammo, AAC 140 grain SMK and Hornady American Gunner 140 BTHP ), VERY accurate . What's not to like? I'm 77, so anyone who thinks I give a fig as to what people think about something so unimportant in the grand scheme of things as what caliber of rifle I shoot, would be sadly mistaken.
By the by, HIGHLY recommend the Super Varmint.

OMG!! I'm busted!! I have 4 6.5 cm's !! 3 are Savages,1 wears a 26 in fluted barrel from xcaliber, Mcrees chassis stock , trigger Basix , Athlon Cronus and weight is 23 lbs!! I need to borrow a 3/4 ton truck to haul it and the ammo for t-Rex hunting. I drive a Tundra as well !! But no man bun as my hair is retreating like no body's business!!

I've managed to acquire a whole gaggle of 6.5CMs. The first one was a ruger precision rifle. The rest just kinda happened. And I can say that the other 3 that I own came at a collective cost of under $1200. ALL of them shoot 1/2 moa with the same load. For a father of 2 who hunt, one of which has a girlfriend that hunts, and have buddies that hunt but don't own rifles....these sub $400 little wonders are awesome! Man bun, needmoor, sissy rifle, whatever you want to call them, I've won club matches in factory class and filled my freezer with these rifles.
Oh, and I also built 2- 8.6BLK, 2- 6CM, and most recently a 22CM.
The 8.6 BLK put one in the freezer thos year with 350 gr Makers subsonic expanding bullets.

What is amazing to me is the number of people I have met that bought one based on the hype or what they had heard and had no idea what they were buying. These folks never shoot a deer over 200 yards but bought a Creedmore thinking it would blow the doors off of a 270 at the distances they hunt and shoot as flat as a laser beam to 600 yards. Of course it doesn't and it won't. When they finally figure this out they are disappointed. I know more folks in my area that have bought one and then sold it versus keeping it. Research was not their strong suit. What the Creedmore is is a well mannered, very accurate, light recoiling cartridge that is capable at long distance but is certainly not a powerhouse. It's a rifle pretty much anyone can handle and shoot accurately which is a big plus. Ammo and brass are readily available which is a very big deal these days. I like mine. It fills my niche. I do find it to be somewhat limited. Particularly with the 20" barrel. But I knew that going in. It kills deer and hogs just fine.
