    Re: Another 6.5 vs .308 question! Hey you might try the Savage model 10 predator in 6.5 creedmoor it has DBM center feed and will shoot 1/4 min with no trouble. If you have a dealer friend you can get it for about $700 and it will shoot with most custom builds..

    suggestions for upgrading new a-bolt target

    Re: suggestions for upgrading new a-bolt target Stick with Remington or Savage for LR. and you can do just about anything you want to it. The other problem with the A-Bolt is that it is very hard to find a Smith that will re-barrel it. About 50% of the time the action will break while trying...
