OTE=Bruce Day;261119]I’ll bet this rifle cost far more than an annual membership in the Parker Shotgun Collectors Association.[/QUOTE]
Bruce your math skills are amazing

just a heads up it was more than a life membership BUT I'll get a lot of pleasure from this investment. Seeing it was you who made the comment that the annual member wasn't committed to the PGCA I ask What's your point!?

I have never been a fan of the 06 either. No real reason really I have a pre 64 FWT but have never shot it. My favorite caliber is the 7x57 (275 Rigby). Others are the 257 Roberts the 250 and 300 Savages. I have almost everything and can hunt anything on the planet with a rifle suitable for the game intended. This is my first 6.5x55 but I'm liking it a lot so far. I had a Creedmore in a #1 but it left me cold.

I suppose you might say I’m a hardcore fan of most any 6.5mm or 7mm . However I can’t get excited about the 6.5 or 6mm Creedmoor. Now just let me say I’ve shot a bunch of the Savage Model 12 LRP rifles in 6.5 CM and they ALL were tack drivers , those guns also come with the “Competition Accu-Trigger” all the new ones I’ve sold I checked with the gauge and they were all 10-14 ounces from the factory . Anyway the 260 and 243 are more to my liking over the two CM cartridges . Being a big Jack O’Conner fan the 270 has always been a favorite, however I gotta say I like the 6.5-06 and 280 more .
