Jumped on the 6.5 Creedmoor Wagon

[WBouldin]

Whelp, just ordered a Howa Hogue 1500 (just want to be like Randy when I grow up) in none other than 6.5 Creedmoor. Can’t wait for it to get here. Putting a V***** scope on it I won in a raffle. Will post up pics when it’s built out

Sweet! Just keep the man bun under a flat brimmed hat and you’ll be in good shape

That combination of rifle, scope, and cartridge sounds like a great one for deer or antelope

 

[homers]

don't forget to shave your legs as well Nice rifle, have fun.

Do not let anyone know I am telling you this, because I am very vocal against the 6.5 whacko sniper hunters. But I may own a 6.5 Howa ( only a rumor). It may shoot American whitetail 129gr less than 3/4 MOA out of box all day long.

 

[WBouldin]

Does your boyfriend hunt too?

Only when he's not shacked up with you, John

He can't cook and doesn't snuggle well. I kicked him out.

Hunttalkers sharing...how sweet.

When I hunt with mine I also shave my legs like a swimmer! It reduces drag against my pants, and increases my endurance by a solid 6.5%.

In all seriousness I adore mine, a Tikka T3x Wideland Veil customed out. It shoots .

It's 2022, I'm coming out of the closet. Loud and proud I my 6.5 CM

Smart move. Shaved legs = increased BC (Ball-istic Coefficient)

Ball-is tic Coefficient is critical! Twist rate must be matched to the caliber, so I dropped the Hanes tighty whiteys (How the hell do you spell that?) and went for some Saxx Performance Briefs. The Hanes just couldn’t stabilize my rounds.

Even though a .280 just exudes testosterone, I am more than happy to pick up my 6.5 and take it for a walk. Maybe the critters are dying from laughter, but they’re still residing in my freezer

Welcome to the club! I have zero complaints about mine! And my freezer and wall can attest to the fact that it does actually kill animals despite what half of HT says.

I have heard that a 6.5 Creedmoor is a pretty good groundhog gun.

I would do it for fun but not with ammo availability and prices right now!

The Hanes just couldn’t stabilize my rounds.

That is a well-constructed turn of phrase. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Does your boyfriend hunt too?

Not cool, Cush.

My 6.5 Creedmoor is a 257 Roberts…
