I do not.
Not against it though. Just no use for one currently

Actually, I'm struggling more to resist putting together another Grendel, which would also be redundant for me. I should probably sell the dies, brass, and bullets I have to reduce the strain on my conscience. I was thinking about a single shot Grendel. I used to own some bolt 6.5x55s, but never used them. Too many other toys I guess. My 6.5s were never the first rifles I reached for. I think Creedmoors are cool, but a Creedmoor would gather dust in my locker. Better to let someone else enjoy the hell out of one. You should get one of these. I've certainly owned more than my share of blunders, if that counts. A Nock volley gun is more my style.
What fresh Hell is this?

FWIW, I don't have one and have no plans to get one.

That number is a fine looking rifle, which mounts-scope you plan to put on it?

Have 30-30's, 30-06's, and 308's. Cant figure why I would need a Creedmore. I don't have one.

If you have a .30-30 you don't need a .308 or '06 and that works interchangeably with all those.
The desire for a rifle does not have to come from a "need"

Or, may keep it lighter weight with something a bit smaller/lighter as I've got a few Meopro 4.5-14 HTR models kicking around. Talley Rings

I have five, Browning Long Range Hunter, Barrett Fieldcraft, Legendary Arms Works, TC Venture WeatherShield and a Ruger Target/Varmint. I think I have a problem!

Don't have one and have no desire to. ^This....don't need one. I've had a 6.5 55 Swede and a 6.5 X 54 Mannlicher/Schoenauer decades before the CM was a gleam in someone's eye. One is better than the CM and the other gives up very little and, you can't get a CM in a rifle as svelte or smooth as the 1903 Mannlicher/Schoenauer unless you have it custom made. The Europeans discovered the "magic" of the 6.5 caliber....a little over a century before the geniuses of the American firearms world did.

I have two. A custom Rem 700 with a Shilen select match #2 sitting in a McMillan edge, topped with a Leupold 4.5-14 cds. It’s the go to open country deer rifle.
Then a custom XP-100 that’s just crazy accurate.

They're sumpin', ain't they Hook. I have two, a 1903 sand a 1908. I like my '03 just fine but the '08 beats it out, for me. I'm never embarrassed when I take either one hunting.
