“6.5 creedmoor”

Ammunition companies have been trying for decades to build a better bullet, especially the tipped variety. There are plenty of options on shelves, and for most hunters there’s no reason to upgrade. But wait. What about those seeking perfection and wanting to push the envelope to 600 yards or beyond? That’s the trend today.

High plains, Indian summer; infinite sky, a sea of grass. Let’s pitch our tents, break out the rifles and glass the far horizons for antelope.

A hunt-of-a-lifetime comes down to the last day in Alaska’s Brooks Range.

The first step of a Precision Hunter build is to choose a caliber capable of the name. For that, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach selected one of his favorite cartridges—the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Sgt. Maj. Kyle E. Lamb shares the gear he used on his recent Dall sheep adventure.

With the exception of the 7mm, American hunters haven't been crazy about metric-caliber rifle cartridges. The 6.5mm is helping to change that.

Savage Arms has announced that it will be offering four bolt-action, long-range, chassis precision rifles for 2017. Two calibers will be available in short-action and two calibers will be available in long-action.

Savage Arms has announced that it will be adding 6.5 Creedmoor offerings to nine existing rifle models, including some of the company's entry-level offerings. Shipments are being delivered to dealers now.

The Hunter is certainly the most utilitarian-looking sporter in the Kimber family, but that doesn't really matter. Its performance, weight and price are what will command attention.
