Wise words...Let's call it an investment then...As is often the case when one is fiddling around and imagining things, you have the answer in your hand.

Excellent point.one thing to take into consideration if you dont handlod, 308 is WAY more common right now than 6.5 creedmoor...
I would ask what the expected range will be; as others have noted, 600+ yards is where 6.5 CM shines. On the other hand, it also has a rep for burning out barrels much faster than .308-I've determined that I want to be a better rifleman, being proficient and accurate at shooting up to 600 yards. Through the process of talking with some guys here I've decided that the Tikka T3x CTR is the rifle but I need some help with which caliber to choose.
The choice has been narrowed to .308 & 6.5 CM.
What do you recommend and why?
I appreciate your help.
do you have money to burn?
I have expendable income...Money to burn?....No, I work to hard for it.do you have money to burn?
I have expendable income...
100% after, not even gonna play.Is this before or after the wife's approval?
Interesting indeed....Surprised no one mentioned the option to buy any .308 AR10, and then get a 6.5 completed upper to switch it out in less than 10 seconds in the field, or at home in the garage.
Or better yet, buy any AR10 lower and make your own. Buy both the .308 and 6.5 barrels with all the parts and you're good to go.
This is an cool idea, thanks for mentioning it.Usually I set up a target at 400-500 the most. I have a fun spot that's right at 450 in the woods. Clay targets are essentially 1 MOA at that distance and a hell of a challenge.
Man that's a beauty.Here's my 6.5 Creedmoore. I finally got it dialed in to shoot coins at 200 yards with ease. 6.5 is pretty new to me, and I can say I have no regrets on making this one. I love .3o8 and wouldn't ever get rid of any of mine. You can't go wrong with either for 600 yards.

I think he is referring to barrel life . In that case a 308 will hold its accuracy about 2 x longer than a 6.5c . 308 barrels last forever.Sorry, but that is absolutely incorrect.
6.5 Creedmoor vs .308 Winchester... No Contest - The Truth About Guns
There are MANY other comparison articles out there. They ALL say the 6.5CM is far more accurate and even more so as distance increases. Along with the BC, the math and my own person experience with both cartridges.
