The New Kid In Town! Oh wait, that’s a song by the Eagles!
When the 6.5 Creed first hit I was in overdrive buying take off barrels for Savage bolt guns. I had wanted to add a 260 Rem tube to my reserve but they were not to be had easily or reasonably priced at first but when the Creed took of suddenly the 260’s were flying off Savage bolt guns and hitting the internet.
My oldest nephew a bit later told me he was hankering a Creed. Well, I told him he ought to just keep pondering that move but in the meantime I would help him change his SA Savage to a 260 for a spell.
A year later I asked him how his desires were going for the Creed and he told me his Savage still in 260 was suiting him just fine!
Good thing I set him up with my blued tube instead of the pretty stainless barrel I am saving for my own maybe someday future build because I don’t think he is going to be parting with the blued 260 barrel I loaned him anytime soon!
Of course the donor action is still wearing a 257 Roberts barrel that I am very partial to. Do we suppose someone is going to invent a revolving cylinder barrel holder so I can set up and have several Savage barrels mounted to a Savage bolt gun all at once?
