I'm looking into this rifle as well. Thinking about a 6.5 Creedmore. I'm a big Browning rifle fan as my primary hunting rifle has been an A-bolt in 300 Win Mag for 19 years. That gun has always shot 1/2" with my reloads.
The new speed rifle has some great features with ceracoating, fluted barrel, lightweight, and removable muzzle break.
Not yet, have placed an order just waiting for it to come in. Been shooting a Browning BAR in .300 for 30 years but do not get near the grouping you are getting.
I really like mine. It's a 270. Very accurate rifle.
The trigger pull takes some getting use to.
The only bad that I've found is the trigger pull can't "really" be worked on if you want less than a 3lbs pull. it has to be replaced.
I saw one on here not long ago, I think. Maybe they'll chime in. It's not my cup of tea but, then, I don't have a need for an ultralight rifle. I prefer a little heavier/stiffer barrel. I've never liked Browning's triggers and there's no really great replacements. Plus, there's minimal aftermarket support. For less money I can buy Tikka and solve all those issues with equal or greater accuracy and an action that's commonly used for custom builds without the need for truing. They may not be as 'pretty' out of the box but they flat-out shoot - outshooting most factory rifles; and are the best value on the market when you compare quality/accuracy/price.
I'm more in the custom game these days but for a factory rifle, Tikka is where it's at for me

See that’s what I’m trying to decide between. Really like the Tikkas as well.
I have an xbolt in 6.5, not the hells canyon version. I have put around 30 rounds down range. I like the gun, shoots fine...will put it to the test in a few weeks on some whitetail.
I have a Xbolt carbon stainless, it shoots great. I had to do a trigger job myself no one will work on them. Its great now. you really have to dig on internet to find info on how to do it. Seems browning has scared everyone to death to work on them.
