I'm considering buying a bolt rifle in 6.5 Creedmore for target and long range shooting. Which 4-14 ACSS would you recommend for 6.5?
I also shoot rimfire benchrest and was wondering if PA had any plans to introduce a fixed power (36x or bigger) with a very fine reticle to the market anytime soon? One similar to the Weaver T36 or Sightron SII 36x44.

We are working on a dedicated ACSS reticled optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor and also 6.5 Grendel, the rise of these calibers has not escaped our notice, but there is no timeline on when we will be ready to even officially announce that we have a product coming to market.
Right now, the ACSS HUD DMR .308 reticle does line up with 6.5 Creemoor loadings using a 123 grain bullet traveling at between 2550-2600 fps. If that's your preferred bullet weight and your barrel gives that sort of velocity, then you can grab one of the HUD DMR options and be good to go.

If you have a different loading in mind, we do offer a couple of pretty advanced MIL-based reticles that work great, assuming you have access to (or can build your own) a ballistic chart and know your bullet's drop at various distances.

Regarding your second question, I'm unaware of any plans for a very high magnification competition optics as you described for your rimfire competitions. That's a fascinating arena but we aren't ready to dive into it yet.
