[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3180527, member: 15054"] I went to Academy and held it and looked at the scope mounts on it . Front one was not level across the top as the rear one.. but not too far off. Not a deal breaker at all as it could be fixed as there may be a bit of slack in the screw holes. I thought the barrel was thicker than it is ..Looks like it in pictures with the threaded muzzle protector on it. But that muzzle thread protector is thin wall. Now I do not want a 22" barrel that is thin. I am not going to use anything on that threaded end. I looked at some reviews of that 6.5 vs a few others and it is not special by any means. But the deal breaker was 22" and the velocity. Seems the 120gr will do better to 1000 than the 140+ gr loads. But I know handloading can wring good things out of a load. Anyone have a Creedmoor with 22" barrel? What velocities do you get. Not that I am about Velocities as much as accuracy. But I feel my 30-06 that holds under 5" at 500 yards with 155 A max will get the job done just as well for hunting anything I need to hunt. I did some trajectory calculations and looks like to 1000 yards my 3000 fps with the 30-06 will match the 6.5 with 22" barrel. Nothing to gain I suppose. I do have one very accurate load with 155 palma bullet in that 30-06 that is 176 fps faster but it sucks at killing . It pencils right through. The 155A max does not do that. [/QUOTE]
