My 11 year old grandson got one for Christmas also, he is a really good shot with it.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

why are so many on here bashing the round. Quite honestly, because a small group here have admittedly allowed what others have claimed about the round to trigger them, therefore they do not like the round. Not only do they not like the round because of what others have said, they have some strange, burning need to attempt to make others feel bad or shame about choosing the round. I just don't get it, but whatever. If you/your son like it...shoot it. It's a great caliber for whitetail deer. Flat shooting, low recoil, and great bullet selection off the shelf. Have fun, and good luck.

The hype surrounding it causes some ill will. Don't sweat it. It's a slightly improved swede. The swede was a great round. Is it head and shoulders above any of the near competitors? No.

All I really care about is performance in the field. So far so good on dropping deer and pigs at reasonable distances. I've got no complaints about the 6.5 Creedmoor and it's now my #1 choice for hunting.
I quit trying to reason with the haters. The more they push the ridicule, the more foolish they look.

I don't know much about the caliber, but my 9 year old wanted one for Christmas. After shooting several rounds of various different ammo, it shoots them all great, probably better than my 7-08. He absolutely loves to shoot it also. My ? Is why are so many on here bashing the round. This is a serious question, not trying to start a full out war 😂. . 4 things that stand out to me OP: 1) 9 year-old wanted one (that is a great start, he got the gun he wanted, and the gun he wanted is a good all-around round, it is great for target shooting, deer, and coyotes); 2) it shoots what you have run through it, and he can hit with it (that makes him want to keep shooting it, because it is an easy on the shoulder round); 3) He absolutely loves to shoot it (This makes him want to practice with it, you can't get good without practice); 4) you too sound like you are going to get to have some fun competition with different guns (competition makes us better). You have found a great gun for him.

I have shot 2 calibers that seem to shoot most anything you ran down the pipe pretty well..and the guns themselves were super cheap budget guns...243..and the 6.5 cm..the 6.5 had better blood trail with the cheap Walmart bullets I buy...so I bought a cheap Wal-Mart 6.5 to shoot my cheap Wal-Mart bullets...I love my gun... tho its cheap..and ugly(to some of y'all..I think its beautiful)....that sucker will stack 140grn feds inside a nickel..an that is the absolute only thing a gun is good for...accuracy... If they don't shoot straight easily...then they are fancy pipes. Your boy got a fine gun...an that's what matters.
