Thread: 6.5 thoughts...

Righto team, want some thoughts and feedback on a couple of rifles, both being Tikka T3 something I've never used nor are the calibres...

1. A 6.5 SAUM (yes @Kiwi Greg build)(owned by someone else) all fluted in wood stock 22in barrel, dies and some brass

2. 6.5 x 55 again all fluted in synthetic stock 20.5in barrel with GW Durallium Supp

I like wood, but the cost between the 2 at $600 is a big point the first being more expensive, I like the possibilities of long range with the SAUM, mind you I guess the x55 isn't far off, need to do a little more research, however thoughts from you lads would be appreciated.

I'm thinking of something to fill the void after selling my .270, with a bit more than my .243 but not anywhere near as bulky as my Rem 700LR .300WM. For use in thicker bush but having more dropping power if I have a longer shot (300m +)

Cheers Craig
