I toyed with the idea of a vertical grip for my 6.5 Creed. Then I had the chance to shoot a couple rifles with vertical grip stocks - McM and Manners, as well as one rifle bolted to an XLR chassis. I went the chassis route, and when fund are once again in the 'gun fund', I'll buy at least one more if not 2 - chassis, that is. YMMV.
