Well this rifle was sent to me as a replacement for an American rifle in 7-08 that had some chamber issues. I asked them if they could send the replacement in 6.5 Creedmoor and they said yes but it would be in the Predator Model, I gladly said yes. I am glad they sent it. This was my first time out with it but before this I had relieved the almost usual contact these rifles have at the forend. Both are three shot groups off the bench at 100 yds. I think this one is a keeper. My Ruger American in 308 Win doesn't shoot near this good, it's decent for an off the shelf hunting rifle though.

Not too shabby. For what will you use it? roger

I like to load mine about .013 off the lands and run 41.5-42gr H4350 or IMR 4451 with 140A-Max. 123 Lapua S bullets behind 43.7gr. H4350 shoots very well. You are going to love your new Creedmoor.

I'll use it on Deer (at least I'll try) and some porkers if I can find them.

Mine are loaded close to the lands, not sure how far off though. I held off getting a Creedmoor for quite a while but then got into this one on a deal with Ruger and really like it. My two favorite calibers are 7mm and 6.5, I have several different versions of each caliber. My favorite 6.5 so far is the 6.5 Grendel but the Creedmoor is coming up fast. Favorite 7mm is the 7-08 followed by the 7mm TCU. I had a bolt action in 7mm TCU several years ago that was a veritable tack driver.

A friend of mine has a couple of custom bolt guns in 7mm TCU. They are super accurate, fun to shoot, and very capable on deer at reasonable ranges. It's a shame Hornady discontinued the soft jacket 7mm silhouette bullets.
