For a cheap to shoot plinker/target rifle they fill a niche.

For a hunting rifle, velocity kills and the Creed is pretty weak.
got the 120 gr ttsx running over 3000 fps and a 130 gr accubond to 2900, hardly weak, pretty close to a 270 winchester.
shoot the 45-70 is pretty weak but theres nothin on the planet you couldnt kill with it.
