[QUOTE="BirdsandBucks, post: 374025, member: 23954"] Well turns out the 243 is outta the picture now so Im thinking Ill have better luck buying a factory rifle to get going. I've done quite a bit of reading on here in the past few weeks and it really seems like alot of people really enjoy their savages and also from what I've heard the average joe is able to rebarrel this gun to his/her liking. The rebarrelling idea really seems to catch my eye simply because who knows when I'll get the chance to go out west and bring a little bit of elk back to Ohio. As far as cartridge I'm a little concerned that the 6.5 mm is gonna be hard on hides even at a distance. Is there anyone that can speak differently on that subject because I really have no proof to that just me talking. In contrast to that Im worried that the 6mm might be a little light for deer at around those same ranges. But I guess in the end it's gonna come down to "Sorry honey, Yes I really did need to buy two rifles today." Haha:) [/QUOTE]
