It used to be you couldn't beat Cabela's. Now that Bass Pro owns 'em though, I'm not so sure. I don't blame the Cabela family for saying "screw this" and getting out, of course, just not a fan of BPS (they nearly caused a really good friend of mine, who held a clearance above Top Secret for 30+ years, to go to jail because of their incompetence).
^^ Let me know if you're handloading, i have a lot of experience with 6.5 CM.
Break it in properly, work up a decent handload, and you should have no problem getting into the .3x MOA range.
If you end up at DSC and the short RSO is there, tell him Mark says hi. He's a little weird but he's good people.
Here's me shooting my Afghan Martini-Henry last time we were there. Forgive the delay, the trigger was about 79 pounds or so.

you really wanna get on his good side, a horse mask or a yugo SKS with practice grenades and blanks is a surefire way
i've had people shoot my target before. usually asking them very loudly if they put the target up, followed with "THEN WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING IT?!??!" fixes it.
having been there plenty, and let Mike shoot many of my toys (bumpfiring the shorty AKs always gets a laugh), i get a lot of latitude to just do my thing. he'll even have me watch the line when it's cold and he's using the ATV to run stuff out to 300 (like the car hood a friend took on the 19th).
Car hood’s still at the 300. I was shooting at the white square steel to its left. Too easy with the 6.5 creedmoor. I ran out of time to shoot 500 yards but will next time.
My rebuttal, TheYankeeMarshal has recently been added to my Chicken Shit List.
That is legally retarded on their part, wow. Why lose out on the sales to MD if they can legally send them there? Seems really dumb.Neither is without their flaws. But Bud's is especially fucktarded when it comes to MD. They get sent hard-copy letters directly from the Maryland State Police...NOT MSP letters sent from individuals, but MSP actually personally writes to Bud's and says ______ is completely lawful to own, buy, sell, transfer, etc. in the state of Maryland. They still say "nope, it's illegal there, you can't have it."
Probably 60% of what I shoot nowadays is handloads (the rest is russian surplus that i pick up wherever it's cheapest). I have a honey hole in PA I visit frequently to pick up powder/primers/projectiles. They're a non-corporate sporting goods store (family-owned) whose prices are typically equal to, if not better than, online prices. Plus the drive up and back is still less than shipping usually runs with hazmat etc. And I like my car, so.....win-win-win. Support a family-owned local business, great prices, and an excuse for a road trip on some great winding roads (fuck the interstates).
