[QUOTE="Wanfalt1, post: 1364555, member: 101097"] I have had both never shot the creedmoor just owned one. A friend borrowed it (creedmoor) and shot 140 grain factory stuff. Loaned it to another friend while hunting goats here in Wyoming. Shot two antelope 0ne at 650 an one at 1000. I don't think he could have accomplished it with the 7mm Remington Mag in a Sako Forester. My other rifle. Recoil is quite a bit more and I haven't found any factory ammo nearly as accurate as the cheap Hornady ammo. I shoot a 6.5x47 Lapua. Don't want a creedmoor but ballistic twins. Wife has a .260( I have an 7stw.) We hunt the 6.5's. Stupid accurate and reliable. I wouldn't shoot an Elk with the STW because I am a wimp when it comes to recoil. I would be at a disadvantage with the 7 because it kicks. A bullet in the lungs just plain works. The 6.5's are easy to shoot. We both shot elk this year at distance. I think range is irrelevant for elk as they are huge. Shoot a coyote at long range and you have accomplished something. I am confident on a 7 inch target at 600 yards. I can't say that about the 7remington magnum in a sporter weight rifle. [/QUOTE]
