What is wrong with owning a 6.5 Creedmoor?
I bought a Howa from Whitakers when they had a sale, cut the barrel and had it threaded for a suppressor. Should make a fine deer rifle, along with my unaltered CZ550 6.5x55.

I own one. And I just bought another for my wife.

Never not funny No chit....the creedmoor is better at everything than a 270. Less recoil better ammo higher bc...for those shooting long range. What's not to like other the the fools who want to do something a certain way because it's what they've always done.....idiots still poop outside too I guess

A great cartridge... Hornady makes some fine hunting ammo 129 gr soft point .... very accurate.. soft recoil .... case is a bit shorter and fatter than tbe 260 case ... longer bullets dont take up valuable space ....Basically a 6.5x55 that can be housed in a shortaction ..
Im sold out on a dinosaur, 270 Winchester.......or I would be all over the Creedmoor..

Nothing wrong with a 270 but nothing wrong with the creedmoor either.

I've had a Ruger Predator in 6.5 for about 3 weeks now. Can't think of anything to not like about it. I paid $389 OTD for the rifle. I haven't shot a 3 or 5 shot group yet over 1 MOA, several closer to 1/2 MOA with factory ammo.
My brother has had one for a few months and since he doesn't handload I have a good supply of once fired brass. Loaded 20 rounds with 3 different charges and 143gr ELDX bullets. Same accuracy, a little more speed.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Put me down for one in a Vanguard. I'm still working with it in the reloading department for getting a tight group. Nothing wrong with the rifle and it certainly is a gentle cartridge to pull the trigger on.

Bought a Bergara Hunter because it looked interesting. Most accurate new rifle I've ever had. Good for whitetail where I hunt. I like it, but don't ascribe any particular magic to it. Nice mid-caliber short action round that I expect will do all I ask of it. Also don't think I'm special for owning it. I like the Bergara too, might decide I need one in .308 as well.

I had a Ruger Precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and sold it. I got the Ruger more for the style of the rifle than the fact that it was chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor. The cartridge was fine, but the rifle was a little awkward for me. I already had a 260 Remington that I was comfortable with and when the chance came to trade the Ruger Precision, I did. I could be happy with either the 6.5 Creedmoor or the 260 Remington. I just got the 260 Remington first.

Never not funny Clueless, or just ruffling feathers.  I own one Creedmoor, and planning on getting another. They will go along nicely with my 22's, 243's, 270's, 7mm-08's, 300, 9.3x64, & 375.

I'm amazed, I started these threads to poke at M77 and his thread. I am enjoying the opinions and thoughts tho.
I personally am a fan of the 250 and 300 savage. The creedmoor strikes me as the metric 250ai, which is why I am interested, as it has a wider range of bullet choices.
Anybody remember the 270 wildcat on the 300 Savage case? To me it's like deja-vu all over again. The 308 Marlin is another example.
I stand by my opinion, we could get by fine with what Arthur Savage and Mr. Newton put together about a century ago.
