6.5 Creedmoor

MDT has recently introduced a very modular chassis for long-range precision target shooting. It’s not a budget chassis or the cheapest stock you can buy but I think it may be one of the best and most adjustable chassis on the market.

This summer Kimber will produce a limited run of a special edition of the Classic Kimber in 6.5 Creedmoor with two-toned barrel and receiver.

Rolling your own is cheaper than buying new ammo. You may even get a more accurate and reliable round. The bad news? If you don’t get it right, every time, you can blow up your gun. You have to start with the correct procedures and data. Lyman reloading handbooks have the latest data on modern [...]

This may seem like an odd comparison, but I cannot count the number of times I have been in a gun store listening to either the “gun guru” behind the counter, or the “expert sniper” on the other side talking about how the 6.5 Creedmoor is like a 300 Win Mag without the recoil.  The 6.5 Creedmoor is also touted as a long range big game caliber like the 300 Win Mag.

Imported to the United States exclusively by the Italian Firearms Group, the Urban Sniper sports a relatively short (for a long-range precision platform) 20-inch bull barrel. Even with that shorter barrel, the Urban Sniper isn’t a lightweight at 8.75 pounds, though few of today’s long-range rifles are exactly nimble. It is also very accurate, has a great trigger and fits on the shoulder well.

When the NEMO Executive Order ( XO) came in for review, I was wholly unprepared for what was about to happen. The test model was in 6.5 Creedmoor, which is a plus. Not unique, but not all that common in AR platforms yet either. Still, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to testing

NEMO decided to team with KRG for the Dakkar and the result is spectacular. The chassis looks like something out of the space age and it contains all the features a growing boy needs. From the tool-less barrel change to the carbon fiber forend, innovation is the name of the game.

Sometimes we get a rifle in that doesn’t look overly sexy in the packaging, but then proceeds to blow your socks off. The Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor is one such weapon. When it comes to accuracy, this thing is a monster.

The world has been waiting for a reliable, available, semi-auto AR platform in 6.5 Creedmore and today we have it. I got my hands on the latest Seekins Precision SP10 in 6.5, and it did not disappoint.
