Scope recommendation for 6.5 Creedmore

In my experience, the best general purpose scope do-all is the Primary Arms 2.5-10x GLX with Griffin reticle; as this reticle is designed to have a large visible ring at 2.5X for snap shooting CQB at close range, and 2.5x is low enough for fast acquisition. My experiments with 4X didn't go nearly as well. And at 10X, it's a long range rifle with a nice Christmas Tree Mill dot. 10X is plenty of power to shoot 1000 yards with. However, at 22oz, even that might be too heavy for some missions.

Ok, well, respectfully, I don’t want you to “agree”! Big Grin I seriously doubt he’s gonna be doing a lot of “snap-shooting CQB” while sheep hunting with a bolt action 6.5 Creedmoor! Cool Just saying……..

And fwiw, they (Vortex) designed this FFP reticle in the Razor HD, so it looks just like your typical old school “duplex” reticle at the lower powers. Still completely functional, 100%, cranked down, at close range. And where most people wouldn’t “need” the “Christmas tree” part of the reticle for holdover. YMMV. Too be fair, I have “NOT”
looked though a PA 2.5x10 Griffin either……..full disclosure!

While I also like the ACSS CQB reticles in general, and in fact own several iterations, and I find them the most useful on the AR platform. It would be my last choice for a bolt action “sheep hunting 6.5 Creedmoor”. However…… “To each, his own”! Wink
