Hello all,
So I have a friend who is the kind of person to have only one gun, which happens to be a 30+ year old Remington 700 in 30-06. He does not like to shoot it due to recoil but he actually shoots it well, shot-group wise, though re-acquiring his target is always off. He comes to me and ask my thoughts on the 6.5 Creedmoor and I tell him to just get a 6.5x55 Swede and load for it. No budge!
Anyhow, he has decided to get this chambering. Should he build onto the 700 he has with all the aftermarket support after a barrel change, or sell his 700 and buy a factory 6.5 Creedmoor? The other thing that complicates this is that he is cross-eye dominant, right handed but L-eye dominant; he does not know if he should get a LH bolt gun. I did tell him the there are LH rifle stocks for RH shooters.
Thanks to all your thoughts.
