Hey guys, I was thinking of buying a new hunting rifle now that my daughter will be into hunting.
I was looking at a Savage 110 Timberline in 6.5 Creemoor and wondered if anyone is running this for their hunting rifle and what your experiences with it is.
Currently I have a savage 111 in 30-06 and have had it quite a few years and have loved it. Very reliable and never an issue with it, but my daughter being 12, the recoil might be a bit much for her.
If you are running this rifle can you give me your thoughts.
When my son was looking for his first rifle he looked at the Timberline and the Tikka
we went with the Tikka, his 6.5 shoot amazing
either way I don't think you can go wrong

How's the recoil on the 6.5? I've heard significantly less than a 30-06.

very manageable for a youth hunter for sure.
my son has hunted with my 7-08 and 6.5 and he preferred the 6.5.
make sure she can handle the recoil, nothing worse that having a rifle she doesn't what to shoot.

My son's rifle was 7-08, but that was before 6.5 Creedmore hit the market. Both are fine for kids. if the Accufit goes short enough it should be fine.
I did try her out on my rifle and it was a bit long for her. I was looking at the accufit stock on the Timberline and I think it might fit. not to mention the pad can be put onto the stock even without any of the extenders. So I'm hopeful for that.
