Stop helping me spend my money...PS; if you go 6.5CM you could always just get an AR to match your Tikka.

Yes SirJust for punching paper ?
Nice, I'd go with the 6.5 .Yes Sir
Great info, thanks for that.6.5 Creedmoor is ballistically superior at long range, has less recoil, and is the current "it cartridge" ordained by writers and internet experts.
The .308 Win will maintain accuracy longer, has more common ammo availability, and has been serving admirably for many years. Probably would be more effective on game larger than deer, if that is important to you.
I have 3 different .308's:. a Savage 10T for long range shooting, a Ruger Hawkeye for hunting and my newest, a PSA PA-10 for semi auto fun, possibly hunting or SHTF later.
I started my .308 journey with the Savage, before the 6.5 Creedmoor was offered. Had the Creedmoor been available at the time, I probably would have gone Creedmoor. But I am happy with the .308. Either one would work for the OP's purpose. If the S ever dies HTF, I believe the .308 would be the better option. Let's hope it doesn't.

Well this pretty much sums it all up!! Thread closed!!
The only downside to the 6.5 like other overbore chamberings, is that it is a barrel burner. There are a lot of variables but expect to get a lot less useful barrel life (specifically throat erosion) out of a 6.5 compared to a .308.
I don't have an .308 only a .30-06. This is my first foray into this side of our hobby outside of AR's & AK's.
