There's nothing wrong with the Creed. If I had an empty safe and were shopping for my first ground squrrel to deer rifle, the Creed would be an acceptable choice.
But since the safe already contains rifles in 243, 6mm-284, 25-06, 7mm-08, 264 Win mag, and three chambered in 260 Rem. And all the associated reloading equipment and brass is already on the bench. There is no justification for a Creed at my house.
Can't really argue with that logic, as many existing shooters/hunters already had their bases covered when the Creedmoor came on the scene. Notwithstanding the esoteric matters like reamer prints, throating geometry, brass quality, and the like, some just don't want to participate in the current "Me Too" movement of the shooting/outdoor crowd that is made up of Vortex, Creedmoor, Glock, and Yeti.
