We started shooting AR's and realized we liked shooting, just not the big boomers.
The 6.5 CM gives people that fancy "long range" shooting an excuse to get away from the big boomers and shoot something they don't hate pulling the trigger.
You nailed it. The AR craze precipitated low-recoil, fun-shooting, go to the range and have a good time. The Creedmoor is capitalizing upon it for bolt actions at longer range.
