I've been tossing around the idea of a 22-250 for a while but have also enjoyed the theory/concept of a 6.5 creedmore for longer distance shooting.
I have a 300 win mag that i truly love and doesn't beat me up for long distance shooting right now. To clarify, the furthest i shoot atm is 600y at land beavers (groundhogs). It's a Savage 110BA Stealth w/ a few changes.
i have a 24" bull barrel 223 also.. and to be honest.. i love the win mag the most but i DONT like the weight. It comes in at about 16lbs loaded.
There are all other kinds of calibers out there, but i'm not interested in considering them at this time.
both would be bolt action, probably ruger american predator model. The primary target for both firearms would be, paper/gongs/varmint at 600y or less. There are some states (WV i think) that require a .22 diameter projectile or smaller for varmint hunting. That's one hesitation i have w/ going w/ a 6.5 and then needing "yet another" firearm later. My 223 is an ar that will never leave the state of maryland.
The question is presented to those who already have a 22-250, a 6.5 creedmore.. or both.
What are your likes AND dislikes. Even the best firearms, have SOMETHING to not like about them.
