Just have the itch to buy a new rifle. I don't Wana hear save your money and buy more ammo for the guns I have lol)

If you don't like the answer, ask a different question (lol).

You have a 6.5 Creedmoor. I could kill every kind of hooved critter that roams the North American continent with that cartridge. Nothing else compatible with a .470"-.473" bolt face is going to kill any deader. Save your money.

Unless, of course, you don't think you could "git 'er done" with the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Everything is bigger in Texas, right? Even your supermarkets, like Herbert E. Butts, take up entire city blocks. Might was well use a .338 Winchester Magnum for your whitetail whacking and trips out west, based on that "everything's bigger in Texas" logic. Trajectory is about like a good 165 grain .30-'06 load, but it makes a bigger entry hole. On the other hand, you could do like some on the African continent do and use a .375 Holland and Holland for everything, including big bears that might want to eat you back. Out to 300 yards, a 275 grain soft-nose spitzer from a .375 H&H shoots as flat as a .30-'06 does,

So, there you have it: get yerself a custom rifle in something like .338 Win. Mag, .340 Weatherby Mag, .375 Ruger, or .375 Holland and Holland.
