In fact I am adding a 6.5 Creedmore to the battery in the near future and perhaps a 6.5/284 after that even tho it's a barrel burner.
I am too old to hunt much and getting a deer on my farm is not even a challenge. My tastes run deeper into handguns and most guns in my collection are handguns. I have rifles of assorted calibers but not a 7mm-08. If it were not for the quality of the neighbor's rifle and the fact he is a pastor of a local church, I would not even consider buying it and doing so is only to add to the collection. The price is also very right.
