Why shoot a sissy rifle?

[justinp61]

Trust me, the only way that I could have a man bun would be to let my hair grow and do a comb over bun.

Hornady has several options in their manbun starter kits, you can get a clip on or a baseball cap with the bun sticking out the back.

Being a 260 shooter, I have a full head of hair and a set of those giant bull balls hanging from the hitch in my truck, testosterone at max levels.

So this isn't your truck?

I'm guilty of shooting a sissy rifle. In fact, I shot it just today. 100 yds, 500 yds and all the way out to 1,100 yds.

Hard to argue with the merits of the cartridge, even though I prefer bigger, more powerful cartridges.

I did however shoot my 30 Nosler XP-100 out to 1,100 yards too, so maybe I don't have to give up too much of my man card.

You think the 6.5 Creedmoor is popular, wait until they neck it up to 30caliber and call it a 308 Creedmoor!!!!

It already exists under the covert name of 30 T/C…

For ground squirrels, only if you choose the right bullets. I've never hunted them, so I don't have any suggestions, do hear they can be quite dangerous when wounded though.

Our last trip out (last year) we came upon a badger out in the fields that seemed to be going after the ground squirrels - the 6.5 Creedmoor would have been a much better sissy cartridge than the 22LR... not sure if that 38 grain hollow point would do more than **** him off
I think we hit it, but I wasn't willing to get close enough to check. So yeah a bigger gun would have been nice. I am tempted to bring my AR next time - or maybe the 6.5.... lol

I think GunWerx made a limited nun of one or I'm thinking a short folding stock rifle. Mike showed it to me when I was buying some cases about 4 years ago maybe I'd be surprised in there wasn't a TC Encore pistol barrel. I have a 28 in. Encore barrel in 6.5 Creed.

MGM will make you a 6.5 Creed barrel for your Encore.

CVA chambered the Creed in their 6.5 Creed as well.

Buds has some if you want one: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product...v3+longe+range+6.5+grendel+single+shot+pistol

Everyone knows that there's no gay bars in Wyoming.

Actually, there are hundreds, but they just call them sheep paddocks in the rest of the country.

I have a 6.5 PRC 1 in. Spiral fluted with integral brake from MGM.
Thanks but in not looking for a pistol barrel. Lapuatom asked me if there was a Creedmoor pistol.
I have an Encore Creed barrel already.

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.

I was looking at getting into some F-Class competition and wound up with a Tikka 6.5 TacA1It shot great out of the box and as you have found out easy button to load for….What a learning curve….

Easy button is right. If my 6.5 CM was the first rifle that I ever reloaded for, I would be under the impression that it's simple to find a very accurate load.
It's not my first but it's by far the easiest I have ever loaded for.

I don't have a 6.5 Creedmoor, don't wear skinny jeans as I am almost 74 fat bald old guy. But I do love my 6mm and 25 Creedmoors. As for 6.5 rifles I have a 264 WM and a 6.5-308 Ackley Imp.
