A friend of mine bought this exact rifle for his boy. We were out shooting my dinger at 760 about a year ago and if I remember right it shot roughly a 6” 5 shot group. I think it was shooting 143s at like 2940 vs the 143s through my creed at 2650. He didn’t like the brake so he put a Witt machine brake on it. I think $550 is a good deal for this rifle

Okay that sounds great! I think I might do it

Josh, look at the ballistics, the 6.5 PRC smokes the Creed in KE  and bullet drop. Only down side will be availability of cartridges.   You can find the 7mmRM cartridge in almost any small town. 270 WM too.  I’m old school, I shoot the classics. .. there’s so many “new” cartridges coming out each year you could go nuts trying to keep up.  Do some research w the ballistic charts, compare cartridge pricing, and what you can find  on the shelf each day. Don’t rush into it over a sale,  buy the rifle that’s going todo what you want it to .
