I would. And then slap a can on it. I saw a headline in passing the other day that suggested that Congress might consider removing the restrictions on cans, as they certainly should. They're an over-the-counter item in the U.K., for crying out loud.
What fresh Hell is this?

Haven't decided to jump on the Creedmore bandwagon just yet, but if I do, it won't be with a Savage.

I really kinda want to turn a Ruger 77 RSI into a 6.5 Creedmoor.

I wonder when Remington's going to jump on the Creedmoor bandwagon ?
Would love to have a 20" Stainless Model Seven in 6mm Creed or 6.5 Creedmoor.

I'd go with a Weatherby Vanguard with a 24 inch barrel mine is super accurate and if later you want to shorten the barrel you can.

Would love to have a 20" Stainless Model Seven in 6mm Creed or 6.5 Creedmoor. Since Remington sells both firearms and ammunition, I'd expect to see ammunition introduced before firearms, as a way for them to test the actual market demand. I also wonder how mature the 6.5 Creedmoor market is at this point in time. Have the majority of the people who are interested in the cartridge already bought or built their 6.5 Creedmoors?

Chasing elk for several years in CO, I understand your desire for a light-weight rifle, but personally, I don't think I would go below a 22" barrel length in this caliber. If I were buying one for hunting, it would probably be a model with a 24" barrel.
I recently ordered a Ruger M77 Mark II in 6.5 CM that will be used as a benchrest rifle for punching paper and steel. It will have a 28" heavy barrel. Since most benchrest rifles have longer barrels, I would assume that barrel length has something to do with maximizing velocity and long range accuracy, but I'm certainly no expert.

Not to mention the dreaded, hated xBolt which is also super accurate, lite and accurate right out of the box.
OK, I won't mention it.

Hank I look at Savage firearms the same way I do Dodge cars and trucks, and I don't intend to own either of them. I understand they shoot good, but so do other brands. They're ugly, and I've never handled one that I thought "felt good". A man once told me about the benefits of having a pretty wife, rather than an ugly wife.....the ugly one can probably do anything the pretty one can, but the pretty one is a helluva lot better to look at. Part of my thinking probably goes back to when Savage turned out cheap stuff. Now, I will admit that I wouldn't mind owning an early model 99. I've always thought they were cool rifles.

Thats fair Thanks for taking the time to respond I have a few Savages and I really like most inc a lightweight hunter in 6.5 shoots very well I have an old police heavy barrel 223 shoots great ALL my Savages shoot better than I do I admitt I hate two things about them First some models especially rimfires Syn stocks are less than par OK I will give you that a member here has a model 25 just a couple weeks ago I really was interested but I remembered that the last 25 I had I traded off for a Browning and missed the SOB was wood and I loved the stock didnt think I would be happy with the plastic in the end Second THEY WENT PC and CHANGED THIER LOGO WTF PC people dont buy rifles anyway who the F are they trying to impress Sorry I went off the tracks Gotta find balance with pretty wives (mine is very) but too pretty can be a real pain in the azz sometimes. Maybe your too young to remember the song HAHA Hank

I have an AR-10 upper in .308, that has never shot particularly well; thinking a Creedmoor would be an interesting conversion. McGowan will make the barrel, though I am thinking about Krieger as well.

My smith holding my Savage 6.5CM. Not super light, but not bad lookin', and handles very well.

Chrome, I flipped through the Remington 2017 catalog and couldn't find anything chambered in the 6.5 creedmoor or any ammunition. https://remington-catalog.com/catalogs/remington/2017/
