While we all like to hear ourselves talk, I doubt the OP cares what any of us think...

That’s a shame, but a good discussion/ good info opinions being shared for the rest of us!

This is nonsense. By that definition, every new model year truck would make the previous year “obsolete”.

Yeah the 270 is an old school cartridge, but it is still being produced, used, and effective every day! It is far from obsolete, or useless.

Maybe they don’t have the flashiest packaging or a cool new name, but it is still very much alive and well.

Really? I'm not sure the word 'outmoded' is any more definite than obsolete.
For those that have rifles already, the idea that you'd get rid of a270 to get a creedmore seems odd.
If you're buying now, marginal differences can be decisive.
I think of obsolescence as a design so far behind that it is no longer competitive on the same grounds.
If you put a 270 in one guys hands and a creed in another's which would you bet would bag a mule deer?
The answer is you would have no idea with that info. The competitive difference is so marginal it has no predictive weight.
Thus i beli theseeve 'highly marginal improvement in some ways' is closer to the truth.
The Creed has a little lighter recoil. The 270 hits a little harder.
If the advantage is twist rates, that's not really a cartridge problem.
You might say the creedmore has better market support right now. But the cartridge improvement obsession isn't over.
Remember when the .260 Remington was going to be the last and greatest cartridge?

I have both and use the 6.5 cm the most. Both rifles shoot excellent. My 270 sits in the safe. If I were to shoot monos id probably pick the 270.

Really?

Yes really!

From everything you just said I can’t tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing!

Sorry. I meant to quote TMK saying:

"You and Cdnance would benefit from reading the definition of obsolete:
"Outmoded in design, style, or construction"

You and i agree. I did a cheap tikka build this year. It was a .270.
