Looking at a Thompson center compass in 308 win or 6.5 cr. It will be for nothing more than a range toy, can you guys give me some pros and cons to each caliber. Is the vortex crossfire 3-9 x 40 scope good enough for up to 150 yards or should I look for a bigger scope ?

6.5 cr recoil a lot less then the 308 ?
what size scope would be ideal for 150 yards ? Not trying to win any competitions, just wondering what the best size would be for seeing a target that far

I already have a .22 and a .223If it's just a range toy why not a .22 or something smaller centerfire like a .223?

So I ran the numbers using Winchester's Ballistic App: Sight-in: 100yd, crosswind 10mph, @500yds: 6.5 Creedmoor - Drop 54.6", Drift 15.6", 308 Win - Drop 53.8", Drift 19". So is the 6.5 really flatter shooting than the 308?
Those numbers are interesting.
@natdscott or vette - all the Highpower guys like it, what's your experience? I have none, I'm only repeating what I've been told.

6.5 creed is the new latest and greatest. Fact of the matter is, it really doesnt do anything the tried and true 260 doesnt with the exception of offering factory ammo (more than a couple kinds). 260 is one of my favorite cartridges of all time (its a 308 necked down, so you will never run out of brass) so the 6.5 creed being almost identical in terms of ballistics is one of my favorites aswell even though I will never own one.
I do agree with everyone else, the 6.5 doesnt really shine at 150 yards. It shines at 600+ yards.
