So you are saying I don't "need" a new rifle... all valid points. I think biggest thing for hunting more timbered country is a more compact rifle but I certainly could tote the 6 Creed, even with the 6" can its not too unwieldy.
I guess I’m just saying I don’t feel that either option you listed is going to do anything that what you have dosnt. Actually likely the opposite.

16” 6.5 creed is going to be a 2500fps rifle with proper bullets. Not sure what the 25 does at that length but I’m sure it’s not much different.

If a short rifle is what you want I’d burn more powder, or step down in bore size to keep velocity decent at the muzzle.
