My problem is that my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, as I'm 70 and wear glasses, and am needing new glasses right now. So, it's hard for me to really bear down and shoot tight groups like I use to be able to do. But, this is the forth Creed I've had. One was a Howa, the other two were Model 700's, the ADL's. All shot 120 grain bullets really well, with only one of the 700's giving slightly better accuracy with 140 grain bullets.
I really like the 6.5 CM as deer hunting round, practically no recoil, plenty of power, and a very good choice of reloading components. As I said, this is a nice rifle, maybe not quite as slim and trim as I'd prefer, but my hunting consists of sitting in a deer blind, so weight is not really a concern. Had weight been a concern, I'd probably gone with the Mountain Rifle or a rifle in the Model Seven lineup.
Remington has got quite a knock in recent years, but I can honestly say that I've never had one that wasn't a good shooter, at least as far as I'm concerned. I just don't like their triggers, and I still don't understand why they don't make a better one. I'm down to one Model 700 with the old Walker trigger, the others have been replaced, and as soon as I can, I'll replace this one with a Timney or Triggertech.
