.308 time proven short or medium range cartridge. Larger bullet weight range, same short action. I'd consider no brake due to noise and dust blowup (if lying prone).

You won't go wrong with either, but the Creed is just the latest in the 1000 yard fan club. Consider the 7mm-08 if you have the option (.308 necked to 7mm).

I'd still go .308 if you don't need to brag about what rifle you shoot at camp.

PS: My 7mm-08 is a great low recoil shooter out of the box. and There's a good number of bullets for reloads.
