I have absolutely zero need but my LGS just sent me an email with a M700 SPS for $450...

CDNN has stainless featherweights on sale as well. Ive resisted this long, have enough bolt guns, but they look pretty sweet!

If you like to shoot, and don't want your teeth rattled, they are nice for that. Here's mine, a joy to shoot and accurate. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/922/Flumbc.jpg)

Being a relatively new cartridge, only being around for about 15 years now. I can understand why not everyone has one.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The availability of really accurate factor ammo makes it a no brainer for me.

I like my T3x lite. Shoots great.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

An eskimo friend dumped this 74" bull with a 6.5 Creedmoor I saw the video of the shots, 1st shot dropped the bull but he got back up, 2nd shot stoned him again and it didn't get back up, 50 yards or so ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/6061/fZBlST.jpg)

I have two, load for 4, all accurate rifles. I load 120 Barnes for all of them. Two Savages, a vanguard, and a 700. They are damn fun to shoot, perfect for whitetail, Aoudads, and pigs where I hunt.

If the 6.5x47 lapua took off commercially (ie accurate factory ammunition from more than one source) I would own one. Instead the 6.5x48 (ie 6.5 creedmoor) did. It's the easy button.
Of course 6mm creed is better....

My easy-kicking deer rifles have been the 6mm Rem, 25-06, the 30-30, and the 308 Winchester. All are just peachy especially the 25-06 Rem 700.
Yet I think I'm going to be hunting mule deer with a 6.5 Creedmoor in a couple of weeks. This one is a Bergara. My first handloads for it are looking good. It is real easy to shoot.
Regards, Guy

Love mine. Shot it at 1000 yards this morning. Browning Hells Canyon with McMillan stock. Nightforce NXS 139 gr Scenars over 41.5 grs of H4350
Lots of fun.

I've tried to not buy the flatbill, but that dang cartridge kicks some azz. Ammo is everywhere, rifles are twisted right, it'll shoot 4350 and 140s. There's really nothing to hate about it. I'd take one in an sps stainless I guess, toss it in a mcmillian edge and probably love it.

If not for them, I'd buy one. That's where I'm at. I'm up to my eyeballs in 7mm-08 stuff. I'm not starting over with a creed. Nothing against it, though. Love the case design.
