I got one with around 60 rounds through it. I have only had it out to 125 ish on a range. Shooting off a bipod it shoots great very happy with it. Just got back from a hunting trip every one wanted to shoot it, no one was disappointed with it (at least that's what they said). Every one hit within 2 inches of bull at 100 yards shooting off bipod on bench.

I don't own that model, but my experience with Tikkas has been great. Smoothest off the shelf action out there and insanely accurate.

There's a fine line between BRAVE ... and STUPID.

If I didn't own any centerfire rifles today, OP's choice might be the first one I bought tomorrow. I don't think you'll be disappointed, ETH.

If I could find one I'd buy one. I can't seem to find a Tikka 6.5 Creed in stock anywhere.

I have a T3 CTR in 308 and liked it so much I bought another t3x CTR and rebarreled it with a 26" pipe and had it chambered for 6.5 cm.

I just got one in 6.5 on Saturday. Ordered from cabelas online and picked it up in store. Haven't mounted glass or shot it yet, but I know I will be pleased. It feels great to shoulder and should be a tack driver like the T3 Lite .308 it's replacing.

I love my Tikka in a 25-06 and want to get a CTR in a 6.5 but cannot find one at all. I will check Cabelas.

Cabelas showed out of stock in stores. Showed in stock online. Ordered online and it delivered to store for pickup in about 8 days.

Kind of my thoughts. Can't see how you could miss with a 6.5 CTR.

Killing me! I have been looking at the CTR in 308 for several days. This thread is not helping me talk myself out of it.

I succumbed to my "want" fairly quickly, so you're doing better than me.
