Anyone have any recommendations on where to sell or trade a brand new 6.5 creedmore i have. Looking for something with a little more knock down for the wife. I know the 6.5 will be fine with the right shot placement, but shes a female and just getting into hunting so you know how that goes. So far she has harvested 3 deer. One with a 7mm-08 that i borrowed from a friend. One with a .243 that i borrowed from a friend. This year she killed a decent buck with my .308 from when i was a kid. But of course, being a woman she wants "her own" i bought this 6.5 because i came across a good deal but i think i want something different for her.

List of on Louisiana sportsman if your in Louisiana.
If you have any ammo list it as well, that alone may make the sale for you.

Keep the 6.5 and just get another. Never sell a gun.

She definitely needs a .400 NE or a .416 Rigby.

Anything over 100 horsepower will smooth out anything that will stand there long enough for you to hit it. I like the M series deeres

I'd keep the 6.5 and buy her a Weatherby Vanguard Camila in your choice of caliber (7-08, .243, .308,or 6.5)
I bought my wife one and it has a stock designed to fit a woman's frame. She likes it much better than the Model 7 I had her shooting and it doesn't fit me at all. It wasn't bad last year, I think I gave $700 and there may be other companies designing a stock just for women.

I would say she needs to work on shot placement before worrying about “knockdown power”. Last deer my wife shot with her 6.5 dropped in it’s tracks. Let her practice with the gun and get comfortable with it, and she’s all good. I shot a doe last weekend and pulled the shot; ran 50 yards from where she was hit. Doesn’t matter how heavy a bullet if she’s making bad shots.

you would be better served by just keeping you're 6.5cm..Ive killed a shite-load of deer and pigs with mine. If you want more gun for whatever reason you believe you might need it, the 300 winmag will be WAYYY more than enough for whatever you think you might need (the 6.5cm is more than enough btw)..I own both and have shot hundreds of rounds thru both, its been a few years since ive fired a round out of bigbad. I got the 6.5 CM when it was really new, there was not a whole lot of info out there so I basically had to do alot of shooting with the very limited variety of ammo available at the time..I shoot my 6.5cm every chance I get, its more than enough rifle for any game or just ringing steel anywhere in North America

Drop that rifle in a pink-camo stock.

Why would a new Hunter woman need more than a 6.5? The difference of energy between that, .308, and 7mm-08 is not even noticeable.
Awaiting the pending .338 win mag suggestion.
