Best thing for you to do now is read through most of the "Savage FAQ" section on this forum. There you will find all the major information you will need to answer your "whats what" about Savage.
FWIW I would look for a rifle in 30-06 or 270 for your 6.5x55 Sweede. All you would need to do is swap out the barrel, everything else from there is your choice. Things like trigger, stock, scope mounts, etc. for upgrades.
Shilen is good, CBI is great, anything from Apache Gunworks is great.
