[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1530161, member: 92702"] If the Creed is the holy grail, why not the .260? Why not the 6.5-284? Certainly why not the .264 Win? One reason and one reason only, Marketing Genius. There is no other valid explanation. When messing around at home, and are willing to pass up an animal, and wait for a perfect shot, we tend to often shoot little guns for a variety of reasons. Youngest daughter shot a deer with my AR this year just because she wanted to go deer hunting and my coyote rifle was all that was at the duck club. Everything turned out fine. Is a .223 enough gun for deer? no, it is not. But it will work if the range is not too far and the shot is placed perfectly. If I lived in Colorado and could hunt elk all season I might carry a really light rifle if I had to climb a ways. If I have to pay $5-10k to shoot one you can bet all your tail feathers I will be carrying a rifle that will put him down from nearly any angle up close, and that will kill him a long ways off. It will also put a big enough hole in him that we can easily follow him if he runs off. Just my $.02, but it is worth at least what you guys paid for it. [/QUOTE]
