    Why are you selling it already ?

    Are you struggling velocity wise with such a short barrel.?

    I had two 6.5Creedmoor built in the same time, this one and a target or PRS heavy rifle which I plan on keeping as I have plenty other lighter hunting rifles.
    Firstly the 6.5CM is not bad in short barrelled rifles as it runs at very high pressure vs say 6.5x55. Secondly this 20" Hardy barrel is quite fast, only 40fps on average slower than my 24" cut hand lapped custom match barrel fitted to my other Creedmoor. She is supersonic over 1300yds which is not bad for a 20" barrel. Chronoed 136gr TRG Sako ammo at 2730fps which was also only 40-50fps behind a 24" Tikka CTR factory rifle with the same ammo. I would have expected a bigger difference but that is what the chrony measured.

    Reason for selling is that we will invest a bit of time in designing bits for PRS rifles and use my other rifle as a test bed. I fear this light rifle will only be in the safe.
