I love the middle of the road 260 Rem that I have. A friend of mine let me play around with his 6.5 Creedmore at the range one day and I like all of the same things about it.

As a guy already "out west," I think that 9 lbs is a bit heavy for humping all day and the 6.5CM is a soft enough shooter that you don't need extra weight to tame recoil.

I like new rifles. I say go for it, but consider tango1niner's suggestion.
