[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3164455, member: 41761"] Bought one, sold one. If you are staying with the 6.5CM, I simply would put the time in behind the rifle to maximise your abilities, learn and work your D.O.P.E. Master the Ballistic Calculator and shoot out past 600m or so to put it all into play. Reading the wind, flags, environmental considerations, and yes even the coriolis effect. Once you feel you have mastered 600m and out then maybe look into a different rifle. Lots of folks shoot lights out at 300m and less, many at 500m as well, but the long range game really is from about 600m and further. The skills needed to be mastered will be with either rifle if you put in the time and effort, the difference may be a Ruger today or a Surgeon some time down the road. My mentor taught me to learn and progress on the same rifle until it is time to replace the barrel, then make the decision as to purchase a new rig or not. I still have the same rifle, but it is on it's third barrel. Extreme for the 6.5CM maybe, but my 300 Win Mag starts to lose ground at about 1200 rounds. Either way, we need to get out and do some distance shooting. Good luck my friend. [/QUOTE]
