I picked up this rifle not knowing anything about them. Being a rifle looney I thought I would give it a try. I'm impressed with it especially the accuracy. LOP is a lil long, trigger adjusts to 2 lbs (Sweet,), feeds great, bolt is smooth, good design on magazine.
Recoil pad is odd but handles and shoots well and is light. Great rifle for the money @ EuroOptics.

Factory 147's @ 100 yds and 300 yds.

Ah, should have known that as 147s I guess. Hornady makes some great shootin' ammo right out of the box. Took a little work for me to get my 6.5 CM to shoot handloads better than the factory Hornady Match 140s.

Really surprised this rifle shoots so well.
Most of my rifles require handloads but this one ill shoot factory. Recoil is neal .
Anyone looking for a 6.5 PRC, these are a bargain.

Been eyeing those German rifles awhile now on eurooptic. How does 6.5 PRC compare to the Creedmoor in terms of recoil?

Recoil is definitely more than a 6.5CM but less than a heavier rifle chambered in 270.
Its very pleasant to shoot and will surprise you.
As you're aware other calibers in same rifle are priced even less.
