    Wanting to get into the Savage game


    Hello, all.
    I am an avid shooter from the Memphis area (Memphissippi, as it is sometimes called). I have been a Remmy man my entire life, but now I want to try out a Savage for my next LR gun. A forum member directed me here from Facebook as a possible resource for info.

    I have been shooting long range for several years with R700 260, 7-08, and 308. I also use ARs for LR, with 2 6.5 Grendels and a 260 AR10. I am looking intently at the 12 LRP in 6.5CM, but am open to suggestions.

    I look forward to absorbing as much info as possible before I buy.

    I built 3 Rifles now and after doing the math I believe the LRP would have been the way to go even if I chose to upgrade or switch out anything after playing with it in factory form. You get a great action a reliable stock and about 99% of time they appear to be shooters with the right loads. If it's not then Savage will make it right.

    Welcome to the forum and the worlds of being able to do all your own smithing with just a few simple tools.

    Thanks guys. I'm looking over the boards and I'm not seeing one for long range. Are my eyes going bad?

    Welcome! Posting long range questions in the Competitive Section would be the best bet.
