Just trying to clear it up: Are you looking for two rifles? One in 6.5Grendel and one in 6.5Creed? Is your purpose simply to have both the AR15 and AR10 platforms covered? If so I understand. However, the 6.5Grendel "Magnum"(that's not a thing) is the 6.5Creedmoor. They are, essentially, one in the same. The Creed simply holds more powder. If you are wanting just one, get the Creedmoor. Great round. If you want both, trust me, I get it. I hate to tell you how many things I want and my buddy's go "Say what...?" Having overlap in the firearms world, if you have more than a few guns, is pretty much a given. I like 22 caliber rifles. I shoot .223 competitively. I want a 22Creedmoor as well as a 22BR. All shoot the same bullet. Some shoot it faster. That's it. But I still want them. Good luck.

Wouldn't that mean no Mosin's either. I would leave them out anyway.

Agree. Nicest compact 9mm handgun I've shot to date. Although I've been out of the 9mm handgun market for a couple of years. It's the one that when it does come to play, anyone that has messed with it usually goes looking for one.

Switch the barrel to a 6.5Creed...?

Grab an AR. You can swap uppers all day. One of the most "customizable" firearms out there. .223/5.56 is available all day on the cheap. You won't (most likely) be shooting one hole groups but you will learn to shoot. Run the rifle ragged and buy other uppers as you want to or see fit. Also, upgrading the trigger and various small parts on your lower can be fun and you will learn what truly makes a difference in your chosen shooting "game". Good luck.

It looks like a Prius... Pass.

Nice looking blasters @1563621

I'm having a 1911 built. Therefore, I'm back to being moderately interested in handguns again and think there should be a "safe" space for customized pistols to be show off without fear of bullying from any other fanboy club. What'cha got? Springfield Armory 1911A1 I did the trigger work, beavertail, hammer, stippling on top of the slide. I also added the magwell and blended it inside reasonably well. It's a beast. Shoots very well with my reloads. I need to mod the mag release as it beats my hand up a touch but beyond that it's just ducky.

Carry where? In my home? Garage? To my property line (50x100 foot lot in Bergen County)? Not everyone on here can.

How do you like the stippling? I'm sending my 1911 parts out after years of not looking at them and finally deciding that I simply don't want to build it myself. I'm considering how I want to spec it out. My guess is that I'm going to have it checkered at 15lpi, but that stippling is good looking enough that I would consider it. I'll have a couple of years to get it all figured out tho...

The silver one? The bolt is on the wrong side for a right handed shooter unless I'm missing something (which is generally the case).

Smith and Wesson 617 would get my vote all day. Its a veritable twin to your 686, carries 10 rounds and is a great little shooter.

Yup. 16" can go 750, maybe 1k with the right load.

I'll shoot you a text this weekend.

Waiting over here for an invite like...

I'd really like one of those little Seecamp's. Neat little pistol. That looks great @PK90

Savage and Remington both make similar rifles at a similar price point. Don't leave out Tikka. Their action is super smooth. The trigger is a simple spring swap and you're in the money for a light, crisp, trigger. Howa rifles are very good as are the Bergara's. As always, Remington has the most aftermarket support. The Ruger Precision has pre-fit barrels and some triggers as well Really, there is no wrong move in the rifle world that I can see anymore. The guns are simply awesome and if your friend gets into reloading he will open up an awesome adventure for himself. Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions. ETA: I have the book mentioned above and it is a good read. Ryan Cleckner seems to be a pretty good guy that is very excited to pass on some of his learning to others.

@medved11 is a solid seller and gent. His stuff is well taken care of. If the OP is on a serious budget, look for a used SWFA fixed power scope. I just grabbed a 20x for 175 to my door. It is, essentially, brand new. The glass is solid, matched reticle/turret, and it tracks well enough for my intent. The 10x are very good as well. Also, don't overlook the Sightron S-Tac. I've heard good things about them and the glass is solid. I called them a few years ago and the S-Tac line had their S3 glass in them. It's very bright and clear. If you can swing it, and want to put an eye to one, I have a Leupold VX5HD 3-15. Mine has a "tree" style reticle in it and the glass, at half the price, is just off my NF NXS. I would recommend one to almost anyone. Price will push the budget, but it really is that nice. Solid zerostop, great clicks on adjustment, and very easy to set up. As always, feel free to drop me a PM or text me with any questions. I'll do my best to help.

I looked at it on the Vortex site. Capped turrets and the reticle is Mil-Dot and adjustments are MOA. I'd take a pass if I was planning on shooting in anything other than static conditions. The math is doable but having matched reticle/adjustments is much mo' simple. Capped turrets are great on a hunting rifle but they are just another thing to lose in the field on a "tactical" style rifle. For plinking, shooting the occasional static tactical match or F-Class, it will work just fine tho. If I was using it that way, I'd probably opt for the duplex as ranging wouldn't be an issue. This advice is worth exactly what you have paid for it.

Welcome Maywood.

Kampfeld. http://kampfeldcustom.com/ Pro Precision Rifles. https://boltfluting.com/ Tell him Bully from Accurate Shooter sent you. Don't fuss around. If fluting is bad it can mess with harmonics.

Rock's make a great gun but my money would go to a Springfield Range Officer. Springfield's are awesome. The frames are solid. Smith's will work on them IF you decide to upgrade to checkering, beavertail, etc. Good luck. Lots of choices.

Trust me, it's his shooting more than anything I may have done.

My buddy wanted a little help putting together a rifle for some local tactical matches and possibly for some F-Open fun as well. He's a hella good shooter and great guy to boot. So I offered to help him. Having someone in my shop while "working" was dicey, but it worked out well enough. He's never owned a 6mm rifle. Now he does. I did the barrel work. Mid-70's R700 LA trued by Bob White Stocky's stock Nightforce rail Meopta scope Jewell trigger Bartlein HV 1:7.5 .243Win Duplin bi-pod He is running the Berger 107's. It's an incredibly soft shooting rifle. The trigger is glass. We are both very pleased.

Additionally I've seen Jeeps taking a bit of a hit on the used market. Similar to Harley D in the 80's (if memory serves me correctly). They've been overvalued (Jeep) for quite a while. Starting to come back to earth.
