[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2031312, member: 879"] No way am I going to try to sell you on the Creedmoor. But you seem to already be sold on it or you wouldn't have posted the challenge. I'll try to talk you down off of that ledge. When it comes to rifles, I've always been a man's man kind of man. First centerfire was a 30-06. I've shot 308 Winchesters, 32 Winchester Special, 45-70. Killed a few critters with 270 Winchester, 338 Win Mag, and a whole bunch with 270 WSM. Had a 300 Win Mag for a while. Sold it to a child last year. Like you, the whole Creedmoor Craze rubbed me the wrong way. It always felt like someone tapping me on the shoulder and offering me a marijuana cigarette while smiling and telling me how great it is. My young teenage son was whacking and stacking deer with a 357 Magnum Handi-rifle which is like a long barrelled pistol with a stock on it or short barrelled rifle or whatever the Tactikool Kids call them these days. And those tortoise-speed lumps of lead were going all the way through the deer. Anyway my son's pile of perforated deer made a light bulb go on in my head. "Hmmm...maybe I don't need to blow softball-sized exit holes in these critters to kill them!" Then President Trump sent me a check and it all snowballed on me from there. Now I've got two of the crazy things. But I'm still not smoking the dope. Come to think of it, I might not be the best person to talk you out of a Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
