6k on a tactical rifle

[1911man]

I will be getting 6k and I want to spend it either having my Rem. Model 7 (243 cal.) with a medalist stock, built up to a 6.5 creedmoor or buying one off of gunbroker. I will be using the rifle for hunting from coyotes to cow elk, and tactical shooting matches out to 600 maybe 800 yards. I am a older guy to some and I don't plan on hiking a lot with it, when I hunt. I am just looking for some advice that I might not have thought of yet.

Check out the custom rifles on dzurosguns.com
He custom builds really nice 6.5 creedmores that are accurate over 2k yards

there is actually a very nice accuracy international rifle for sale in our long gun classifieds. save on tax, buy a badass scope and rings...

oh and the guy selling is in el dorado hills which is about an hour and a half from you. id ask if he could meet you halfway in fairfield or something.

6.5

It will be about a month before I get the money. I doubt if that rifle will be still here, but I will be hunting for a solution more seriously then.

You CAN Have one built for a lot less and spend more money on the scope. 500 match set, 500 barrel, 200 bcg, 200 stock, 250 trigger, 300 rail, 35 gas block, 50 lpk, 40 buffer tube kit. Few other odds and ends than find someone to assemble if you cant. You can get a 2000 scope and rings.

6k

Well guys I just got back from a shooting event and I am now looking into the 6.5 grendel does it drift about the same as the creedmoor out to 500 yards? Will it have enough power to take a elk out to 300 yards? Would the round group the same out to 300 yards? I do not reload, because of that would buying the ammo be a wash grendel vs creedmoor? Does a manufacturer make copper loaded rounds for the grendel?

Creedmoor > Grendel if you're looking for supreme accuracy. The round keeps going past 1K without any effort.

The best thing about 6.5 Creedmoor is the factory ammo is EXCELLENT. If you don't reload, no problem.

Barnes makes copper rounds, AFAIK.

You can build an amazing 6.5 Creedmoor for less than 6k.

Here is mine from Accurate Ordnance:

Funny, when I saw this thread I thought of something similar but with a Gen 2 Razor on it.

It's one of my favorite builds.
