I took my brand new .270 Win and tore it apart just for the action. I then put a CBI 260 Rem Match barrel on it and have been very happy with it... I'm a lefty, so my option for what I wanted were "slim to none", so that's why I went this way (wanted a long action, so I wouldn't have any issues feeding from the mag even when seating the ELD-X bullets out long... my COAL is 2.933) as the 11/111 platform was my only option as a lefty.
The 6.5 Creed will work, but you may have a little more of a feeding issue from the mag then the 260 does....
