What Caliber will be your 2014 Savage Build Be??

[brasse]

Not sure if I will be getting a 6.5 GK in Savage bolt action or in AR15 style.

Using 6.8 brass loading the high COEFF bullets from my Creedmoor 6.5. GK stand for Grendel Killer, it won't kill off the Grendel but will out perform it, especially in Savage as I can load the longer higher Coeff bullets. In AR15 it has the advantage of better stronger bolts, better brass that feed more reliably in ARs. I have an extra lower receiver that is lonely. Have a new upper receiver coming so just add barrel and shoot!

But thinking about getting a Savage stryker length barrel, say 17 inches fluted, in a 5.5 to 5.8 pound Savage rifle. My Savage 6.8 SPC II will be completed mid January, expecting it will weigh 6.6 to 6.9 pounds with scope. It will be a 200 yard hunting rifle.

The Savage 6.5 GK could be a 400 yard rifle.

I need to give my Creedmoor love too in 2014. When it was stock Savage 11TH it shot great but I flinched. Now that it weighs 13+ pounds I still flinch. As the gun smith stated "Muzzle Brake", only thing holding me back is that beautiful Shilen Select Match stainless bull barrel. Almost too beautiful to thread with a muzzle brake.

Wouldn't a 6.5-6.8 have OAL issues with 123s at AR mag length?

What bolt face does the 6.8 use? Guy on SnipersHide cooked up a 22-6.8 he's calling 5.6DMR that gets 2900fps with 90gr Berger VLDs from a 24" AR, feeding from 6.8 PRI mags. Case capacity seems to tween 223AI and 22BR...

[brasse]

Lots of wildcats coming out of the 6.8 case. Mainly because guys have been saving their 6.8 cases. Once fired are worth between 35 and 50 cents each. There are a couple of 6mm, one being the 6 Haggar.

The 22X6.8, the 6 MM, the 25X6.8, the 6.5X6.8, the 6.8 and finally the 30X6.8 are just some of the one coming. PTG and one other place are making Savage bolt heads.

7mm WSM or 270 WSM for me. I would also like to put a light weight 204 together some day. Dad wants me to build him a 300WM also.

I'll be building a 250 Sav for my 9 year old daughters first bolt gun to hunt with next year. Looking for a donor action now...want to build it on a Model 11 or Model 10.

[sav260]

Thinking about a .358 winchester, 16" barrel, 2-7 redfield, boyds laminate stock.

[claysshotgunner]

Plan on doing a 22-6mm or 224 TTH, whichever I can find someone to ream for me. After I find a 22 barrel for them to do.

[Rooster 50]

6.5 Remington Magnum

[ig25]

17 Remington

[Southern Mex]

I think a 6mm Creedmoor is on deck for 2014

[scope eye]

6mm Mach IV, already in motion.

I have in the works a savage 11 lefty action, which is getting a Brux 8 twist SS barrel, for 22-243 AI... throated for Berger 90's.

and...

I have a savage 12 lefty action, which will have a PacNor 3 groove, 8 twist, Palma barrel for 20-250 AI... throated for Berger 55's

[03mossy]

As soon as my light wight AR is done i am debating on either a lightweight 7-08 or another smokeless .45 muzzleloader, this one just lighter and shorter.

[ShawneeB]

Like to do something in a 20, tac, prac. Maybe a furball 17 or rem 17.

[RP12]

Mine will be chambered in 7mm-08 Rem. Long action, light weight hunting rifle.

[Joetinva]

Just finished my first, a .223 on a Stevens 200, waiting for my .308 barrel for my second. My next will be a 6.5 Creedmoor.

[mp_tx]

Looking to build a .300 Blackout to shoot supressed.

[Digduggy]

Still building my '13 Savage, 30-06 started with 111... Choate stock on the way... Barrel next

[teebirdhyzer]

tired of worrying about my nice, pretty rifles when I go hunting in the crappy weather. Planning a build with stainless action, stainless barrel, and a synthetic stock (which I hate). Probably gonna be a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 19 or 20" barrel. I'm thinking of just buying a model 16 and chopping off the barrel a bit...seems like the easiest way to go.
