My son has decided against the CM.
You guy have convinced him that the Swede will do everything the CM can do and then some.
Thanks for all the help.
Now, what to buy, what to buy, that is the question. The Swede's as fine a choice as any. Good luck.

Simply, new toy, that's good enough.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

Heads will explode when the new 27 CM hits the market. Now there is an idea!! It's called the .270 Ingwe 
"...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Oh boy, don't let Barsness see this post........ https://gunsmagazine.com/why-the-6-5-creedmoor/Biggest advantages I see to the Creedmoor is a long neck and shoulder angle that goes a long ways towards preserving barrel life, rifles that are twisted to accommodate heavy bullets that are increasingly popular among loonys, and a lot of factory ammo offerings. that makes too much sense. campfire will never buy that excuse. Lol...that would make sense to me to if the guys wearing Creedmoor capes actually shot their rifles. Ironically they probably shoot them more than most guys with 338s and 375s, you know, real riflemen. 
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Why all the pussy hurt over a brass case.
Exactly! I have never seen another cartridge get people so bothered. I bought a 6.5 Creedmoor and like it. I have several other rifles too. It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, at least in my hands. It is a good cartridge, though, and I don't understand why some people feel the need to complain about it. It is basically a .260 Rem in a slightly shorter case and with more factory ammo available.

The intolerance here rivals that of Kavenaugh hearings. If you don’t use the 6.5, get ready to be pounded...
Nah... Won't fly... Let's start with the title of this thread. Whole lotta chest pounders who just gotta prove to the world that what they shoot is the BEST. And everyone else is off base. Me? Don't own a creedmoor yet, and just fired my first one last week while I was on vacation. And yeah, it's just another rifle choice but anyone with any sense of engineering elegance has gotta see what's right about this cartridge. Are any and all creedmoors gonna be more accurate than my sako .222, or my custom barreled and tuned winchester 25-06? Got my doubts... Bottom line is that I am a fan of the thought processes that produced the creedmoor. Right thinkers...

I'll bet the guy who started this thread didn't always shoot or even like the Swede. Rinky dink, off caliber foreign round.
You could buy ten of them and not have any real money into them.
A few articles here and there and they became a nouveau cult favorite. I heard incredible claims both here and elsewhere about the "fantastic properties" inherent in the mighty 6.5 long skinny bullets.

And I'll always be a fan of craftsmanship and execution.
But the means for a shooter to righteously get into the long range game for under (way under) $1000 fascinates me. And this via mass produced rifles, optics, and ammo.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

That has a lot to do with this thread from Mr. look at me himself. You are like a skunk in a culvert, just because you can’t smell yourself doesn’t mean you don’t stink...

That's ok, I don't dress up with leggings and a BAR to shot a fu*king rabbit. Of course you curse plastic rifles, whilst your son shoots a RAR to kill shiet and you ask about one for an Alaskan hunt. You're a road hunter at best. Know a few guys that have seen you at gunshows and you're a showoff without the show. No surprise really.

UGH, get over it already. I have a .308 and a Creedmoor. Shoot whatever the fugk you want for whatever reason you want. Not because someone on the forum thinks you're cool or gay.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Could have been Mrs. Sandbilly, cause I know you ain't been there, but I may have been. Shrapnel, no chance, he couldn't post a pic of it whilst wearing leggings and a critter whole in the back of his truck.
