Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who has a 6.5 Creedmoor and who doesn’t?

Wow, that looks older than your grill!

It's older than those trees....built in 1939.

I've owned 3 6.5 CM's, and sold them all. Was going to order another, either a Model 700 Mountain Rifle, or one of the new Model 7's with the HS Precision stock. But, have about changed my mind, as I like the looks of the new 700 American Hunter rifle better, or may just get another 700 with the 24 inch barrel and go from there.

I don't use the Creed for anything but deer hunting, and though I like it, I could live without one.

Not yet.

I've a number of other rifles.

Ain't planning to start reloading again til I retire, though.

So every time I drop $32+ on the factory 120 BT load my .260 CTR shoots into .3s I tear up like Ironeyes Cody did around litter.

...And ponder latching onto a S'man's Ho'haus Superlite Creed or threaded Fieldcraft at the brand new store in my town!

I don’t, but have a Winchester M70 Swede. I am milling over the 6.5 PRC though. That cartridge seems to be a bigger step.

I had one in Model 16 Weather Warrior stainless. It shot very accurately and recoiled about like my daughter's .243W. But I never took a liking to it and a girl I went to church with wanted it and her husband offered me a price which was what I had paid for it and the scope, sling, etc. I figured I had other rifles I liked better so I let them have it. It was a good rifle but not exceptional for what I do. I don't shoot 600 yard targets.

I don’t. Probably never will, as I have it’s Grandad the 6.5x55.

Just bought another 22'' 6.5 Creedmoor barrel form Patriot Valley Arms.

I now own one. Think I’ll use it deer hunting this year. Shoots Berger factory ammo with the 135 classic hunter into tiny groups.

If I was younger, maybe.......

Been shooting the 308, and 257 Roberts for 55-60 something years....

my son and his christensen ridgeline in 6.5 creedmore last fall. I use the creed and the swede they both kill very well

I have had a 260 since 2003. As a guy that hunts and rarely shoots beyond 200 yards, and also handloads, I do not see any advantage of the Creedmoor over my 260. If I had to buy factory ammo, I may be tempted to go the Creedmoor route due to the many types of ammo available.

Well dang, I guess I better get one.

Av, I think that’s one of the finest photos ever posted on this forum...

I’ve got 2 6 Creed’s ... close but no cigar ?

.264 - 7.5% = .244... you’ve got a 92.5% Creedmoor.

There's so much right with this photo! Congrats.

No Creedmoor- my 6.5's are more powerful- 6.5x55 and 6.5x57

+2

+3!
