You don't need one.
If Mauser ammo is hard to find you could always shoot a .260 Rem.
If anyone is going to build a new bolt action rifle with a FACTORY action, buy a M/700 action from Brownells. Then true it up.

I think my next gun may be a pedersoli

One trigger. shoot whichever barrel you pull the hammer back. My great uncle had a side by side double like that. i wish i knew what happened to it. His 12 gauge was a breech loader that took cartridges.

Looks like a beauty. I love old guns. Nothing about newer guns really appeals to me.

I'd like to have a dark maple/stainless Win M70 Featherweight in 6.5 PRC, but of course it's not made in that chambering. The PRC is a step up from the CM, doesn't have a belted case like the .264 mag, and can be loaded down to CM levels if desired. Ruger and Savage chamber for the PRC, but not Winchester.

I won one in December at a QDMA banquet haven't played with it yet.

Agree, but you can get the 700 action for close 100 bucks less than Brownells, from Grice gun shop.

I am slowly putting together a 6.5 Gibbs as money allows. Its based on the 30-06 case so brass is cheap. Has ample case capacity to shove a 140 grain bullet at a good clip and is something different to the craze thats going on at the moment. The upside of the Creedmoor is that there are lots of 6.5mm bullets to pick from now.

No Creedmore for me either I've got a nice .6 mm / .244 Remington but the 6.5 x 55 has a special spot in my heart I would like a 7 x 57 mm just because I ended up with some ammo at a auction sale a couple year's ago I guess I'm a fan of 284 diameter calibers .
If i were to have a rifle built I'd go with a Remington 700 action also .

i have a 22 and a 375 H&H mag. My 2 rifles got it all covered.

Went to buy one, but walked out with a 308

No need or want for me either. I own several rifles in the same performance range. Add in the 'everyone has one ' angle and it's even less desirable for me. If i was to build a high performance hunting rifle the one id be after is a 300 PRC.

Don't have one either Good cartridge I imagine like a 7mm/08 would be if they gave it a snappy name instead of making it a 308 shadow

I have a number of firearms, but favorite is my 30-06. I don't see where the Creedmore will do more than my 06 will. I don't see the need for one.

Creedmore is a hipster long distance cartridge. From a hunting standpoint it does nothing the 25-06 or 270 can’t do.

The older a gun is the more I tend to like it.

How dose the 6mmcreed compare to a .243 or 6mm rem.?
Dennis

Very similar recoil to the 243 but can push a lot heavier bullet than the 243. Extremely accurate and with the right bullet is very effective on up to and including elk sized game.

I have the 6.5 x 284. It a great cartridge. If was was to build another 6.5 it would be a 6.5/300 Wby.

But as many people have said a 270 and 30/06 are dang good work horses.

if and when the US military picks up the 6.5 for the standard issue I will buy one then. I like staying with nato calibers or at least very common ones. I reload but i also like the idea if I need ammo it will be available. I do have a few semi-odd calibers for fun and thats all i can afford to keep fed from the reloading press, dont care to add any more unless its something really special which the creedmore isnt in my opinion.

I would be alot more tempted to buy a gun in a caliber i already have than adding a new caliber to my collection.

Agreed!..use any modern short action.
