[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 3022023, member: 20355"] I've got a great photo of the two. My first rifle was a .243 (M70) and my dad shot a 6 Rem (Rem 788). Essentially they are a wash. Given modern options, especially for deer sized game, I think they both have all but died out except for the legacy rifles that exist. That said...with a 6 Rem typically having 9 twist barrels...I'd probably lean towards the 6 Rem. HOWEVER, if you were going to have a rifle built...with a barrel of your choice...I'd probably still lean toward a 6 Creed. This is not to say one is better than the other, just a cool pic I took about 12 years ago. I actually rebarreled my Win M70 to a 6x284 with an 8 twist. The .243 was essentailly shot out, and the M70 was a long action anyway. Made sense to me. [ATTACH type="full"]539369[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
