I have 3 although one is at Granddaughters house. I guess it’s hers now. I like the Creed, easy on your shoulder, cheap to load for.

I don't have one yet but would like one. Almost bought one at Scheels last week but I found a good deal on a used Ruger American Predator in .223 instead.

As close as I'll ever get ! It would be surrounded by a .243, 25-06, 7mm-08 & .308, that I'm comfortable with & have always got the job done.

I have a couple. One has a bore that seems to be undersized by .007, the other has a bore slightly oversized by .013.

New 2-99s, you are telling me that footwear didn't come with a Creedmoor?

I've got Miroku 1885 with a 28" octagonal barrel and a nice shotgun butt pistol grip stock. Really tweaks people out when they find out it's a 6.5CM

I opted for the "stretched" version... aka 6.5x55

I opted for the "stretched" version... aka 6.5x55 The swede feeds better IMO due to the tapered design, has a longer neck to aid in throat erosion, and Lapua Brass is $30 cheaper by the 100 than the Creedmoor. I have also found the swede configured in a long action is capable of holding 7ish more grains of powder in many instances when loaded with heavy bullets due to the fact that the bullet is not seated deep into the case. If your a handloader my opinion is that the swede takes the cake. If buying ammo you can't beat the Creedmoor! Store bought ammo is rather boring compared to my 130 accubond load at 3050 fps Trystan

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I wouldn't forsake my 257Rob for a 6.5CM so I'm having a 6mm CM put together instead.
