I'm in the market for a AR platform - 6.5 Creed. $1,000 - $2,000 price range. I have a Rock River in 5.56 and like it. I know i can get RR in 6.5, but wondering if others have their favorites?

I don't have a Creedmoor, but both my RRA's have been solid and amazingly accurate. I thought about getting the Savage MSR-10 but I haven't seen any tests where it was under 1.25-1.5" for three shots and that's just not going to cut it for me. The RRA will be heavy-if that doesn't matter, I'd certainly check it out and see if you like it.

I'm currently working on a handload for a friend's MSR-10. That 1 - 1.5 inches with factory match ammo is about right. We took his out to 600 yards with the factory Hornady 140 ELD-M and were getting 6 - 8 inch groups. I like the Rock Rivers too, but I've never seen or shot one of their 6.5's.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Rock River should be a solid choice. Had one of their left-hand 5.56 Operators for several years and it was a great shooter.
Stag would be on my short list as well. The 6.5 CM can be had in 22" or 24" barrel lengths.
