I have never shot a 6.5 cal rifle (including the Creed), but ran across a pretty sweet looking 6.5x55 Swede the other day. It was a new production Ruger Hawkeye RSI with mannlicher stock. Anyone ever shoot this caliber? Looks like it shoots the same 6.5 mm bullets the 6.5n CM uses, but about 100 fps slower. The only high powered rifle rounds I shoot are 30-06 and 308, I would think this should recoil a good bit less and be pretty nice in the field.
