[QUOTE="TNRifleman, post: 4833289, member: 16556"] I will start by saying I have never in my life shot a 7-08 and have always been a long action, standard caliber guy. 270, 30-06 etc. However, I do have a couple of 6.5's, one is a target gun set up for longet range shooting and one is a hunting rig. It is really hard to argue with the accuracy I am getting and recoil is about non-existent. If I am hunting, I am still likely carryong a 270, 30-06 or more recently a 280AI. That being said, my hunting rifle in 6.5CM is a sweet setup that is crazy accurate and has plenty of energy for whitetails out past where I want to shoot. The other consideration is that I believe the 6.5 is one of, if not the best selling caliber out right now. This means that if you shoot factory ammo, there are a ton of very good options available and likely more to come. I shoot a 140 gr. accubond at 2770 fps, and with almost no recoil, its a fantastic whitetail cartridge. [/QUOTE]
