The reason the Creedmoor is so popular is it does so many things so well... were I starting my kids out today they’d be equipped with rifles so-chambered.
Positives:
Extremely accurate, affordable ammunition available everywhere and is loaded to the gills.
(270 ammunition - and even some 7-08 ammo - is incredibly anemic).
Makes best use of the commonly used 2.8” SA magazine.
Twisted correctly from the factory.
Recoil is minimal.
Varmints to elk capability.
Negatives:
Cranky old dudes don’t like it.
You would still be a apologetic kcunt no matter what rifle you and your kids shoot.
