The 6.5cm will be a great deer gun. True, it is not a heavy hitter, but I got pass through shots on a bull elk this year at 160 yards with 142 grain nosler ABLR bullets.
since the 6.5 cm has mild recoil, a light gun works great. I have it in a Kimber hunter at 7 lbs with a scope.

There seems to be quite a few Bergara rifles at the PRC matches. Going by that they must shoot good. But l have no first hand experience

JB did you see in my previous post that the guy was using a lead sled? He wasn't touching the gun other than to squeeze the trigger. The scope was tight. I've heard a lot of good things about the caliber and he was using factory ammo. I don't know what else it could have been. Like I said, shoot it if it is good keep it. If not sell it and buy the CA rifle you originally mentioned.

@johnnyblues I have it's twin sister in a 7mm08, and I love it. The color combo is pretty slick looking. Light gun with zero recoil.

Nice rifle JB! I have shot many of the CA rifles and been impressed with them all. I’ve set up several of the Bergara rifles also and they have been shooters as well. I have been shooting Bergara Barrels on my T/C Encore since 2010 and have been impressed with them as well. I gave them a try mainly due to Ed Shilen being involved in the business. A lot of quality for the money IMO.

Sweet! I almost bought that exact rifle in 28 Nosler at DSC a few weeks ago, but went with a Fierce Firearms 28 instead.
Let us know how she shoots!

The 6.5 CREEDMOOR, not 'more' is a good round. I don't hunt with one but have a Springfield M1A so chambered and its an accurate easy shooting rifle. I think you will like it.
