OK folks, I have been studying 6.5 Creedmoor for some time now. I'm convinced, it's the caliber for me. Question is which rifle. I want to get the best I can for under 1K. I am not using it for hunting, seeing as I have been a vegetarian for almost 44 years. It would be more for fun, and in an emergency management situation, as a 'reach out and touch someone' gun.
I am looking for something that looks like an everyday deer rifle. I don't want anything that looks scary to the 'anti-gun' folks. And while I am not trying to hit a prairie dog at one mile, I would like to be able to shoot as far as I can, so your average 100 yard deer rifle is NOT what I am looking for.
So far, salesmen have told me the following:
"Rugers are really great."
"Rugers have had some accuracy problems."
"Bergaras are great."
"Some rifles have to cool down after firing one shot to maintain accuracy."
"Kimbers are great"
I don't know that much about what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which 6.5mm Creedmoor bolt action rifle should I get?
