I have a couple of 6.5 Creedmoor rifles and have grown very fond of them. In your case all you need to do is change the barrel. If your rifle was shooting .5 MOA before then the bolt is square and true so nothing needs to be done there, it is the same bolt face as the Creedmoor.
There are many really good barrel makers out there, I have a PacNor and a Schnieder barrels on my 6.5 Creedmoors and both of them shoot better than .5 MOA, it is a very easy caliber to get to shoot. In fact all of the factory loads I've tried have done .5 MOA or better. I prefer a cut rifle barrel if I intend to shoot it a lot and I have several Kriegers I've been fully satisfied with and that is probaby the way I would go if I thought I would shoot it more than a thousand ronds a year.
