Yeah. I am pretty sure I am going to get a 6.5 Creedmoor at this point.
For a Vortex, I really can't recommend Alan enough. He will help you find the right scope for your application, even if the answer isn't a Vortex from him. He is prompt, this scope shipped the day I bought it even though he told me it would not be until next week after he got back from the 1500.
Alan has had some refurbed scopes. They are like new, full warranty, and discounted over a new one. The 6-24x50 is $670. The EBR-2C is $40 more.
Refurbished
Yup. I also recommend Alan.
