Talk me into this, 6.5 Creedmore

You would use as a hunting rig though?

Sure, as long as it's enough caliber for the game.
Also, lighter kicking round should be just right for my teen son for a hunt.

I was thinking more about that specific rifle as far as compatibility with being a hunting rig, i.e. is it too long? Too heavy?

However, I'm interested in the conversation of caliber effectiveness for hunting as well, but that might not fit into this thread and I don't want to high jack as I'm sure it's been discussed as well.
