What makes it even more tempting is the T3x now offered in 6.5 Creedmoor has a 24" brl vs. 22" on most others. I like a 24" brl for the weight/stability. I find a couple of ounces out there helps tone down the jumpiness and probably doesn't hurt to reduce noise a little, either; you may get a little more velocity as well. Add in the 1:8 twist and the gobs of room in the action for whatever bullet you want and that's a heckuva hunting rig right there!
