I just got my first 6.5 Creed (an Axis) too. Used to own a 6.5x55 back in they day and always liked it - the Creedmoor just seems like a more modern incarnation of that. I've been hunting with a 7mm-08 for the last few years but I plan on taking the Creed out at least a few times this year. I've got the scope mounted and everything I'm just waiting on dies and brass to arrive from Midway so I can load up some ammo for testing :).
