[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1529118, member: 33159"] I purchased a Rem 700 SPS chambered i n 7STW a few years ago. I didn't expect much from it, and figured I would be putting a new barrel on it fairly quickly. I changed out the stock to a HS Precision and to my surprise, it was an absolute tack driver. Shot it so much I had a new barrel put on it last year, and it's even more of a tack driver now. How I knew I had torched the barrel was my pet loads didn't group like they should. A bore scope quickly verified the barrel was toast. The 6.5 Creed should be very accurate in the factory rifle you have, especially if you hand load for it. Change out the stock for sure. If it's not giving you at least 0.75 moa, then I'd say you need a new barrel. But, you may be pleasantly surprised like I was, and get to shoot your current barrel until it loses it's accuracy.
