WOOOO-HA---cant wait to get one of these bad boys. all the guys and girls at the range will certainly bow down out of respect for this amazing powerhouse the likes of which has never been seen:rolleyes: i may be unable to stand the attention and have to give the gun Hog. :eek::D:p

Springfield Armory may sell a ton of the Creed chambered rifles.
History states that they need to keep building the 7.62's as all other chamberings to date have been a rework/re-barrel night mare.

OP/hoz53-
If you are seriously contemplating an OP Rod Platform you may want to purchase a 1/2 dozen of their WELDED op rods to keep you up and running for a week or so.
Out of the box(if/when) it functions, it may be a solid 3-4 MOA shooter.

A Gas Impingement or Piston platform would be your best bet.

LOL-- i have long felt the OP rod system was a poor way to go. I have a couple garands if i want to play with one of them for a little fun. i have also long felt that of the 308 battle rifles the M14 was probably the poorest design. So i dont have or wont be getting an M1A anytime soon. I feel of the 308 battle rifles the G3 is my favorite and so I have a semiauto clone of one of them I use for that sort of work. I imagine there will be a few here who may feel a little differently about the M-14:D

You are correct, in your last sentence
 
I have shot many tens of thousands of rounds thru an m1a/m14 and the only failure was a bolt roller on a springfield commercial bolt. Every time i go shoot no matter where or what i take some variety of them with me whether its a regular stock or ebr model. Im a huge fan but only the 308 for me
