I have a T/C compass in 6.5 with a Vortex crossfire II 4-12x44mm in a 3 day waiting jail. $365 with a $75 rebate.
I too have a T/C; mine is is an Icon and that thing is a tack driver.

200% American! Cool.
Awesome! What mags would one use though for the 7.62x39?
This is another option. MVP LC.

I am looking a 6.5 platform and I am leaning towards the 260 Rem as I reload and it has advantages of .308 parent case, more powder capacity. As my up coming B'day present I am looking a the Nemo XO Carbon .260 with either Nightforce or Vortex 1st focal plane optic. 8.5 empty weight, and I have an AAC 762-SDN-6 to mate with it already.
Any thoughts?
Damn fine looking machine. My friend has .260 Rem and we have shot side by side out to 1200yds. It’s going to perform almost identical to 6.5cm. I guess if you already have a ton of good 308 brass it may make economic sense to go 260. What is your main planned use? How far to you intend to shoot? Any reason to choose SA over a precision BA.

just fyi, peacemaker is having a long range challenge (LRC) match sat dec 16 if you want to see a bunch of long range/precision rifles. most if not everyone will let you handle, get behind and even shoot their rifles. great opportunity to see a bunch of rifle and glass options. this is actually just a fun match, shot prone/on your belly. great chance to get dope for your gun. some folks even bring their hunting rifles, again to get dope.
I took my TC Compass with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 out for the first time today. This was with the cheapest ammo I could get my hands (140gr Non Typical) This was the sighting in of a new rifle- group #1 wasn't on the paper.
Yup, I'm officially on the 6.5 Creedmoor bandwagon.
