“Tag: Creedmoor”

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 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.

New hunting rounds come and go, but some manage to stand the test of time. Here’s a look at five cartridges that are simply too good to go away.

6.5 Creedmoor remains one of the hottest cartridges in the hunting industry. Smith & Wesson recognized that, and will be offering a Performance Center M&P10 chambered in the cartridge in 2017.

Thompson/Center has rolled out several of their rifle models in a new caliber: the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Weatherby's Vanguard was ingeniously redesigned for women. Named the "Camilla," it truly is a woman’s rifle. Now it’s got some real long distance capabilities, thanks to the 6.5 Creedmoor variant.

If you enjoy hunting predators and like the classic design of the Mossberg Patriot hunting rifle, introduced in 2015, you’ll want to look at the Patriot Predator.

Hornady's Precision Hunter line was already due to expand in 2017, with the addition of .270 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, .280 Remington, .300 Winchester Short Magnum and .300 Weatherby Magnum. But, thanks to the skyrocketing interest in 6mm Creedmoor, the folks from Grand Island, Neb., are adding it to the line, too.

If you’re looking for a dual-purpose rifle that can handle big game and predators near and far, and steel targets beyond 1,000 yards, the AR-style Mk3 in 6.5 Creedmoor from CMMG has you covered. Get the details in our latest #SundayGunday video.
