Hi all not new to shooting or rifles, but I am new to Savage rifles. I am here because I want to build a 6.5 Creedmoor and all my research has led me to using a Savage for being the easiest most economical way to accomplish this new build.
Welcome.
Live in New Mexico but spent the past two winters on Fripp Island. Love that part of South Carolina.
Just finished a Creedmoor on a Savage. If you want to get the best from the Creedmoor, go with a 26" barrel. If you are building a rifle just for hunting 22" is fine.

Hi thanks yea I just ordered a 6.5 Creedmoor 26" SS Varmint barrel for it I can't wait to get it together and see how see shoots. When all is said and done I should have less than $1000 in it not including the scope.

I grew up on Lake Marion near Santee. That is a good little drive to that for you. If you ever want to shoot farther you can drive out this way.

Beautiful place. Stayed a winter at Edisto once. Took my rifles figuring I would shoot all winter. NOT! Had to drive all the way up to Francis Marion, about 70 miles, to shoot at a Forest Service range.
