I realize that there isn't a truly right or wrong answer, but I would like some input here. My next purchase will be a 6 Creed. For those of you who have shot both bolt and Ar actions, which one did you like the best? I have several ARs and a couple of smaller caliber bolt guns. I would be shooting mostly paper, but would probably hit the field once or twice a year for deer/antelope hunts. I'm looking at AI's new At offering - mostly for the quick barrel change option, but reallistically I will stay with the creed offering only at this point. ()Too old to indulge in too many caliber.) I also know there are many good builders out there, but any that seem consistently better than the rest of the herd? My AR consideration seems leaning towards GAP. Again, I'm not looking for a shouting match, just some direction to help in my deliberations.

My question was very poorly phrased. The short version: I want to get a 6.5 Creedmoor - would an AR be just as accurate, reliable and user friendly as a bolt gun?
Now you said 6.5 instead of 6. Kinda confusing. Either way, both creeds run a shorter coal than 260/308 cartridges so when the ar platform limits your coal you have some wiggle room. The gap10s post phenomenal groups that are very hard to argue with. In a match setting I like a bolt gun best but for a plinking gun or other purpose gun it should do everything you would need. Downsides are finding your brass and the abuse your brass can take from ejection. I would also imagine you would have to full length size each time if not use a small base die whereas you can get away with neck sizing and minimal shoulder bump on the bolt guns.

bkw - i did "loosely" use the term 6 creed - I am only interested in the 6.5 creedmoor - sorry for the confusion.
Sir, a bolt rifle will be much more reliable over the long haul, with better accuracy.
Maybe not as much fun, but would probably serve you better.
Seems like at some point there is always some kind of problems with the AR platforms. Just small problems, and little things here and there.
My 6 creed bolt rifles have not had one hiccup!!
Just less parts and less pieces to go wrong
