Much as one wants to be different.  There is a lot to like about shooting a moderate weight 6.5 creedmoor (.260 Remington and 6.5 swede fall into the category too).  They shoot long distance, they shoot without a lot of noise and use of powder.   Can build or buy a good carry gun that will shoot accurately right out of the box.  Not much recoil, probably don't need a brake so not a lot of dust and dirt when shooting prone.   Ha ha.. there are a lot of reasons they are so darn popular.</blockquote>
