[QUOTE="airborneschloss, post: 1572729, member: 101799"] I had a 6.5 Creed built on a Remington Model 7 action with a 8 twist 23 inch Bartlein barrel and a Bell and Carlson Ultralight stock. It grouped .66 inches with 130 grain Nosler Accubonds. I killed an elk at 325 yards with one shot and probably 5 mule and whitetail deer. I sold it and bought a Kimber Mountain Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor. Weaver Rifles in Peyton, CO cerakoted the metal and painted the stock to make it look (in my opinion) better. With a Leupold 4.5 to 14 VX-III scope and Talley mounts it weighs right at 6 lbs. It shoots handloaded 143 ELD-X bullets at 2,830 fps into .6 inch 3-shot groups. I harvested 5 antelope and 7 deer over the past three years with it. In December it killed an antelope doe standing at 585 yards. (The Leupold CDC system works like magic)[ATTACH=full]122141[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
