Thanks Sage, I think I am going to go the LRP route. Like you said I can always spin the barrel off if I want something different. I just ordered my 6.5CM dies so I will have that ready. I will plan a trip to Brownells for some Lapua brass too. Since this is my first Savage am I correct in thinking that the 12 is more of a target action and the 10 a varmint action?
