I Bought a 6.5 Creedmoor!

I know I said I would never own one but after shooting a buddy's. I bought a S&W M&P10 PC
6.5 Creedmoor. These are fun to shoot and are a lot more accurate than I expected..A whole lot more!
I think I'm going to deer hunt with it this season I'm sure it will work.
And at 1000 bucks they seem like a nice rifle for the price? Anyone have any experience??

What made you buy it?
I bought a 6.5x47 Lapua after extensive research.

I don't think I will ever own a Creedmoor, but it is just a fad.

I still have a 264WM and a 6.5x55 Swede, guess there aren't too many other options.
Have owned a 6.5-284 barrel I never shot and 260AI and a 6.5-06AI.
None were As good as the 264WM for accuracy, other than the 6.5x47.

A 26 Nosler might be on the cards for me in the near future.

Cheers.

$1K is an excellent price. Congrats and have fun with it! Admit it, you bought one because of its inherent accuracy.

Welcome..... I'm actually just jumping off the 6.5 and getting on the 6mm creed bandwagon. I'll have another 6.5 soon though! I technically still have the barrel and it still shoots well so I can go back to 6.5 whenever I get the itch

Not sure if you have to worry about mud. Looks like hes been wiped off the notable members list and his page is gone. Not sure what he did but I think he got banned or got a suspension

It'll be our secret.

I bought it with little or no research? I shot Logan's several times and
I was surprised that it would shoot groups not just hit the target!
I saw one on GB and threw out a small bid and won it.
A total impulse buy....

I had one built a few years ago so that my dad, brother and myself all had the same caliber. Plus I didn't have a medium range short barrel hunting rig.
I have to say they are Awsome. That is when used at proper ranges. I've taken over a dozen deer, few dozen hogs and an audad, and scimitar oryx with mine.
Once I switched to the hammers it became a much more useful round on game. No the best round for long range steel but it is great at distance I feel ok taking game at.

I fell off the wagon and bought one too....Christenesn Arms MPR. Shot it for the first time last night. One hole 3 shot group with factory Hornady ammo.

Nice another creed fan in the making!

Welcome to club.
I've had mine for a while. Finally decided to hunt with it this season.
