Thread: Your Deer Rifle and Optics Set Up

  1. #101
    Got my new RAP in 6.5CM out to the range over the weekend. Ended up putting a SWFA fixed 10x scope on it that I found for cheap. Even shooting cheap Winchester 125gr ammo, I was easily under 1.5" groups at 100 yards. With better ammo and more practice (I suck at this type of shooting) I suspect it will shoot a lot better.

    Any opinions on the TC Compass rifles for an inexpensive hunting/informal range rig? Considering one in 6.5 CM.

    I finally sighted in my Tikka T3X (Blue Barrel) in 6.5 Creedmoor. Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x42mm CDS-ZL2 with the Firedot.
    Thanks to all for the feedback. I have to say that the the Firedot was a great help. Too bad I wasn’t smart enough to turn it on until the end. My experience with scopes has been very limited. I would have saved time and ammo if anyone of you had been handy to offer your wisdom. Nevertheless, I should be dialed in for deer season. Getting excited to finally harvest my first deer!

    Very nice setup. I suggest you consider Precision Hunter 6.5 143 ELDX ammunition.

    If you’re going to eat that deer, I’d also try a copper bullet. Barnes 120 TTSX and all of the Hornady 120 GMX loads shoot well out of my 6.5CM’s.

    Good choice, it'll be a shooter. My new setup is very similar--Tikkta T3x LH 6.5 CM, Leupold VX-6hd 2-12x T-MOA reticle.
