Default TC compass or Mossberg Patriot

Looking to buy my wife an entry level rifle in 6.5 creedmoor and wondering what rifle people would recommend.
Thanks

Not wanting to be a smart aleck, but neither. Serious. You are better off picking up a gently used rifle for the same money or $100 more.

Also if it's entry level it doesn't have to be a free ore, that the man in ya talkin! Get her a 308 or 243 whatever, with a good scope ...hell she might not ever use the gun- much like my wife's gun that she's never shot.

Picked up a patriot 6.5 creedmoor with the vortex scope for the money can’t go wrong. Not a fan of the clip but not the end of the world. Great little gun for what I use it for!

Vanguard has already been mentioned. Nothing at all wrong with either Winchester XPR or the Ruger American.

The Compass 6.5 Creedmoor is on at Cabelas for $375 after rebate right now. Looks like a good deal

Ruger American is a proven 1000 yard rifle I can't find the video but the guy had a vortex diamondback tactical on it and was shooting fusions.

Weatherby Vanguard is about the best value out there now in my opinion and , yes, its made in 6.5 CM.

I have tikkas, Remington's, mossbergs, savages, Weatherby's.

For the money I like the tikkas and weatherby.
