Not necessarilyā¦ā¦they just don't wear "lacy" panties!
Many here have never encountered a "big boy" rifleā¦.with or without brake! So, they have minimal knowledge of which they speakā¦.talking through their "lacy" panties!

No one mentioned the distance on a kill shot with any rifle. We were in Africa, and one of the guys shot a left-handed 6.5 Creedmore. He dropped a zebra in its tracks at 505 yards. 147 gr. Hornaday. The man behind the gun makes the difference. I like the 7x300 win mag for a little extra distance. The Kudu was shot at 920 yds.
Only because it was a leftie. LOL
Yeah, it's all about the nut behind the trigger with macho or with sissy cartridges... Kill shot at 1507 yds w/ a 6.5 CM & the 147... (don't react to this one with a *** show, please. This is supposed to stay fun here.
)
Barbour Creek student take antelope @ 1507 yards
1507 yards in MT After training level 1 and level 2 at Barbour Creek with James Eagle Ballistics app was used for mirage wind and ballistics
I feel the need, the need for another 6.5 creed!

CM is no sissy rifle. Now my 6mm ARC may qualify as a sissy rifle. No shoulder injury nudged me towards the low recoil 6mm ARC. I just have never liked higher recoil offerings. I don't hunt anything larger than mule deer & as an archery hunter, I thrive on getting close B4 pulling the trigger more often than not.That's right, I birddog 68 shoot a sissy rifle. Not just any sissy rifle but a 6.5 creedmoor, the queen of sissies.
Some are afraid to mention that they shoot a skinny jeans man bun latte drinking rifle for fear that they will be ridiculed by their former friends. Not I.
I was looking for a rifle that would basically be a range rifle and was a little easier on my torn rotator cuff but wanted a bit more power than my 223 Remington. I wanted readily available brass and bullets and something that I wouldn't have to buy any powder that wasn't on my shelf already. The 6.5 CM checked all the boxes.
I ended up buying a Browning Xbolt western hunter last spring with a 24" barrel and yea it's even got a brake on it!
It's actually been boring working up loads for since it's shot everything good that I have tried so far.
I'm shooting 140 ELDM and 140 ballistic tip and have used IMR 4350, Ramshot hunter,W760 and staball 6.5 and it doesn't care what I fill the case with. It just shoots!
I'd like to hear what brought others to buy such a sissy rifle ?
Don't worry your replies will be confidential.
Seldom are my shots over a hundred yards with the 6mm ARC. Exception was my 1st year with the 6mm ARC at 254 yards. Even the ARC has not seemed like a sissy rifle to me since.
243 is to large. Wink!
Admitted to myself last year about this time that the 243 is just to large to fit in one of my favorite micro action rifles. See The 204 Ruger introduced me to the CZ 527 action & I have always liked that little Mauser action. Though I grew up with a 6mm Remington which would have been enough...

If the 6.5's qualify, then the ARC most definitely does.
I mentioned in an above post that my favorite rifle is my Tikka in 260 Remington; and that stands true.
However, the 6mm ARC is my favorite cartridge for hunting deer, and hand-loading. Now, I think most importantly, it's that my daughter harvests her deer using the 6mm ARC, which is something to be treasured (the time spent with my hunting partner). She's a small framed teen, so sissy is mandatory for her.
