    I agree and I think in a lot of cases there are the big three in NZ that do most of the game taking , 270 , 7.08 , 308. My local H&F shop said those are the big three sellers weather new or used.
    I don't see the gun industry producing anything revolutionary in 40 plus over years, it's just marketing old products that have been tweaked and supposedly improved. You can spend a lot of time and money believing the hype and marketing only to achieve the same result as you basically got with the old faithful.
    The old calibers like 270 , 30-06, 6.5 swede , 7 mm mauser kill as well today as they did 100 yrs ago.
    From the gun industries point of view I guess it's about the next best thing and the bottom line is it's all about the bottom line. The Creedmore is a classic case, just a 6.5 swede with a tit job and lippie.....really nothing new. Improved ??

    As for 270 owners..................
    6.5 Creedmoor was specifically developed for precision shooting and has been around since 2007. It was designed to get the best possible case life, accuracy and ballistic efficiency out of a .308 sized action. A hunting cartridge was never at the forefront of it's creation, it just works really well as one.
    spada, shooternz and Mathias like this.
