    well it's me............


    I want to buy a savage rifle and have it barreled to 6.5 x 55 swede...........and I've looked and read and am about to buy a Remington classic in 6.5 x 55 just to stop my headache. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting a smooth working accurate savage rifle in 6.5 x 55 without spending a mint doing so?

    Define mint. Long action with .473 bolt head -- 200.00 to 400.00+. Barrel -- 200.00-400.00 +. Stock -- 0.00 -- 900.00. Scope -- 50.00 - 4500.00. total 6200.00
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Well this is what I did. You could talk me into selling this one. http://www.savageshooters.com/showth...x55-Old-School

    You could also take a look at a Tikka or CZ. Had one of the Remington's and was not to happy with it.

    It shoots good. Shot the 100gr Amax and 123gr ELD-M best. Older batch of 140gr Amax shot pretty good but was real sensitive to OAL. Since the post I have removed the 6.5x55 barrel. It now wears a heavy 22-250 barrel. I currently have the barrel up for sale on the Savage Parts forum but you may be looking for something longer than 22". Take a close at the Tikka in 6.5x55....think you will be impressed by the
    reviews.
