Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTB - 6.5 Creedmoor

It does not matter how fast something sells in the beginning. Just look at Jobbibee's Tuna Pie as an example. When that first came out Reynold's Market could not keep them in the freezer. Practically as soon as they were stocked they sell out by the end of the day. Sometimes you could go down the street to Albertsons and the *might* still have some left, but even that was rare.

Then people got sick of them. You could get them anytime you wanted, but nobody bought them it got to the point where both Reynold's and Albertson's stopped stocking them

So with Jobbibee's Tuna Pie it is not a big deal because it is not like people had to buy a special microwave to cook them or some other special gizmo. In the case of the 6.5CM it is a major investment and you want your investment to be worth something down the road, not a fad.

I was up near glasgow MT this past fall bird hunting. Beautiful country

just keeping the thread on track ; )

Id look at a CTR with 26 inch barrel

Is this thread a joke? Im missing something.

minus a couple tangents, yes, I'm looking to buy a 6.5 Creedmoor

Yer' still killin' me.........

Not like this thread needs it but free bump.

Somebody PLEASE sell bersh a 6.5 Creed. At this juncture the guy really deserves one.............

What is a "tuna pie"?

It's a 35 Whelen.

I have one and really like it you should definitely try one.

Which according to some, is apparently quite similar to a 6.5 Creed...........or a tuna pie.........

45/70 all the way

Thanks. Not really a CTR fan. I'd go with an AR, or a bolt, but none of these pseudo tactical things.

I would place a bet that more 6.5 Creed rounds have been fired downrange in the last 10 years, than the 35 Whelen in its history.

I am just waiting for the right Creed hunting rifle to go with my Bergara HMR long range plinker. I have not found one yet, but hoping FN will come out with a Model 70 FWT.

I would bet in the last 3 years!

Merry Christmas

I'll admit I learned a few things over the holidays, but some of you guys are wayyyy off base.

I am not try trying to offend anybody who posted on this thread and some of the misunderstanding could be the way I explained things. Let me try again

First. Jobbibee's Tuna Pie is not a code word for 35W. Just wanted to clear that up as it may be adding to the confusion

Second. I am not talking about tuna pies in general. I specifically mentioned Jobbibee's Tuna Pie. You guys are all acting like I am talking about Banquet Chicken Pot Pie or Marie Calendar Turkey Pot Pie. These are available in the freezer section everyday, just like 30-06 or a 35W are available at the Holiday Superstation. Next time any of you are at the grocery store take a look in the freezer section and see if you can find Jobbibee's Tuna Pie , If there are not any, then go ask the manager why and I am sure he'll tell you that it was a fad and nobody buys it any more.
This is my point. It does not matter that people ate more Jobbibee's Tuna Pie than they did Marie Calendar pot pies over the last 10 years. Nobody eats Jobbibee's Tuna Pie now!

Now I did say I learned something over the holidays so here it is.

I went to the in laws for Christmas dinner and my wife's cousin's husband, Gary, works at the Bear Track hardware store in Harve. I was talking to Gary about the 6.5 CM and I flat out asked him if he thinks they'll keep ordering those bullets and he said yes. I was very surprised by his answer and when I said I think it is a fad. Gary went on to say that some women like that caliber because it does not kick as much as a 270 so expects more of the younger girls to buy the 6.5CM over a 270 for their first rifle. Needless to say I had to eat a little crow on this as I did not think of this, but I will say when my daughter gets old enough for a rifle, she is getting a 270 just like her Mom and someday when I have a grand daughter she's going to shoot a 270 also. I just cannot see how the CM is enough gun for the hunting we do here.

Sorry if I got this thread a little off track, but I felt like I needed to clear things up.

And I thought 'Flave had disappeared!

Stopped by the local gun store today. He had two 6.5 CM in stock (neither of which I was interested), and a decent selection of ammo. I'm confident enough in my manhood that I'm not afraid to admit that a mild shooting laser with some pretty good thump for the size sounds like a good thing for my aging shoulder. The fact that my 10 yr. old son, daughters, and wife can also shoot it comfortably is a plus in my book.

I've had two potential deals slip by, but still looking for the right deal. This is a rifle that I want, don't need, so I'm being a bit selective but have a feeling the right deal is out there.

You are still absolutely killing me.











But all those girly men shooting 6.5 Creed's think you're beyond compare.............

BobLoblaw,

You are telling us that we don't get it?

What the heck do Tuna pies and 35 W's have to do with a guy wanting a Creedmoor?

You're killing me smalls

the tuna pie guy , classic campfire
