Hello this is my first post. I want to build a custom rifle myself. I have read on several forums that Savage is easier than some other manufacturers, so without a lathe or milling machine I have decided this is the route that I will go. I will be building a 6.5 Creedmore that I will use for target/hunting.

Questions for now (there will be MANY more to follow):

1. Which aftermarket barrel would you recommend? I don't really want a bull barrel, maybe heavy Palma?

2. Which Savage action? Where is the cheapest source?

Thanks in advance,
Lonster
