Savage 16 FCSS 6.5 Creedmoor

[alan81]

I recently ordered this rifle but unfortunately I won't have it in my hands for about 6 - 7 months. I plan on changing the stock for a GRS berzerk and toping it with a Vortex viper pst 6-24x50 FFP. The purpose of the rifle will be deer and way out there targets. I hope I made a good choice.

Sounds like it will be a solid rifle when you finally get your hands on it.

I hope so Hotolds442 I'm really looking forward to getting it and having a play with it. Deer season starts on the 1st of September so hopefully I'll have her by then.

Why wait 6-7 months.

The importers for savage rifles into Ireland have gone out of business so I have to get it through the UK and the importers in the UK won't have the rifle for a few months. When it does get here the license process in Ireland takes at least another 3 months. We have no choice but sit and wait.

Ouch. It will be worth the wait. Have a Savage 10T in 308 that shoots awesome. Waiting on the stealth rifles to come out to see if the 6.5cm comes home with me or wait for the ashberry.

I hope it is worth the wait I'm looking forward to throwing some lead far away at tiny things. I have a 1-12 twist .223 and it's good out to 700 yards but that's it's limit.
Best of luck with whichever one you choose.
