    Which 6.5 creedmoor would be best fit

    I am looking to purchase one of the three following Savage 6.5 creedmoor: 12 LRP...16 Weather Warrior...or the 10 Hunter Predator Max 1.

    i want to use it exclusively for target shooting, primarily from prone position, but also occasionally from a bench and using a sling in sitting, kneeling, and standing. Accuracy is important. I also don't want a barrel that I have to sit around waiting for it to cool down during my shooting sessions. Weight is always an issue at least to some extent, but not necessarily at the top of the list. The three seem to be within about $175 difference from min to max, and the max LRP has a HS Precision stock, while the others have accustock. I don't see the type/contour of barrels on the Savage website for the three models. All have accutriggers, 4 round DBM, and 1:8 twist. The biggest differences I can see on the limited specs I found aside from the obvious HS precision stock, are the barrel lengths (22" for the model 16, 24" for the model 10, and 26" for the LRP), and the weights from 6.9 lbs and 8.5lbs for the models 16 and 10 respectively, and 11lbs for the LRP.

    I would sincerely appreciate feedback, pros, cons, suggestions, things i am overlooking, and advice from those who have used any of these models.

    Thanks.
