So, ultimately I’m keen to drive a 6.5 bolt gun, and while I’d like to get into hand-loading and all that to lessen my cost, in the meantime I just want to be able to go to my local indoor range and get accustomed to precision shooting without any huge expense in ammo. I’ve had a shitty rimfire automatic for most of my life but have always wanted one with a bolt action.

    I figure there’s probably a bit more wiggle room on value of glass with rimfire. If I were seriously entering a competition or something, I’m sure I’d want better, but I think small game and logging a little extra range-time spent on precision fundamentals would probably prove forgiving enough.

    Yeah, I saw recently that 6.5’s decent for deer hunting. I’ve never hunted deer, but it’s something I’ve meant to try eventually. In any case I think that if I ever spring for a T3x tact a1, it’s too intriguing not to get it in 6.5.
