I've had a few, and just traded off my last one.
But I'm sure I'll have another though, because it's just too good a round to ignore.
FÜCK Jeff_O!

3. A Ruger Hawkeye Predator , a Kimber Longmaster rebarrel and a Tikka T3. My favorite is the Kimber.

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. .....................Nope!! Even though a great round for a few reasons, I would opt for a 26 Nosler, the 6.5/284, the 264 Win, and yep, even a 6.5/300 Bee to avoid commonality...........I can afford barrel replacements....LOL... UH OOOOOH,,,, You gonna burn yo barrel out soon....Not at 40-80 rounds per year............ Have 6.5-284 and 26 Nosler. Most barrel wear was working up loads. Agree that hunting use isn’t gonna burn barrels. DF ...........................Good!............And yep! I am starting to have nightmares about the 6.5 Creed. That is just about all we hear about on a daily basis within the shooting world....... .....Geeez........Creed creed creed creed creed..............Damn round walks on water too.........All-right all-ready.......LOL>>>LOL......
28 Nosler,,,,300WSM,,,,338-378 Wby,,,,375 Ruger

I have one - got an itch to buy a Fieldcraft and the 6.5 CM made the most sense at the time. I like it about the same as my Tikka 6.5 Swede...

I bought one, a M700 SPS back when I first heard Remington was going broke. I thought the rifles already on the shelves could be better than their products made after layoffs and cost cutting. But, havn't bothered to scope and shoot it yet.

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 nstead. Scheels in Reno? What model did you almost buy? I was too busy looking at the coopers when i was in there. Salt Lake City Scheels. I was looking over the Howas and Remingtons. The wife was along so I was kind of rushed.

Finally bought one, a LH Tikka T3x Lite and mounted an SWFA SS 12x42. After some load workup I finally got it out to our range to plink some steel. It's a silhouette range but only goes out to 525 yards due to location constraints. Had previously sighted it dead on at 200 meters and was testing my actual come-ups vs. those calculated by a Hornady ballistics calculator. Hit the 200 yard steel, then clicked up to 300 meters and whacked a small prairie dog silhouette with the first shot. Dialed in 525 yards, wind was from about 10 o'clock at 8-9 mph so I held half a mil off and hit a 10" by 10" plate pretty near dead center with the first shot. I kind'a took a liking to the rifle and caliber right away...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I don't have one. Can't say that I'll never have one. It kind of struck me as the Birkenstocks of the rifle world. I don't have them either but won't say I'll never have them. Both seem pretty comfortable but not sure I want to be seen out in public with them.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I don't have one, don't really need one. I have a couple 25-06's and a 243. The 6mm C interests me more than the 6.5.

The only thing worse than a thread full of proud 6.5 Creed owners is the guy that thinks he out smarted everyone with a 6.5 Swede!!!
😛😛😛
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

I do. I also have and do own a 243, 260 7-08 and several others that the Creedmoor gets compared to at exhausting length. It doesn’t make critters any more or less dead than anything else. It’s not any “easier “ or “difficult “ to load for as far as a hunting rifle. Where it does have a distinct advantage is in case design and it’s SAAMI spec. With attention being paid to the throat tolerance and head height it does everything a hunting cartridge of it’s size does plus adds the long range accuracy capabilities as bonus. Nothing that hasn’t been beaten to death already. So, yes I own one and, yes I like for all the same reasons I’ve liked every other caliber I’ve owned.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

One Creed and two, .260s. I am a 6.5 fan. My .308, 30-06, 7 mags and now, a .270, don't get much field time.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

4 in the safe so far. One used to belong to WhelenAway . . . .
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
