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.
I can't remember ever having to justify buying something that I wanted, even if it was redundant to multiple things that I already had.
I like rifles and I like cartridges, so a new rifle or new cartridge is just an itch that needs to be scratched.
