Savage made the newer 6.5 LRH in Long Action. Good move as my short action 6.5 Model 12 doesn't allow me to remove a chambered unfired round safely. No problems with the 6.5 LRH in LA.
Lightweight Hunter that can reach out at the range too.

Great! Thank you sir. Its always hard to get the same/correct info on Savages, even directly from them. But they sure do shoot. I wouldn't mind updating their website with more and correct info.

Go with a new production Winchester Model 70 in .264WM. Add the scope of your choice and be done with it:
Winchester model 70 Ultimate Shadow 264 win mag : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com
You can always upgrade the stock and barrel later if you feel like it.
Here is the wood stocked sporter model:

I have the sporter model myself. It is a sweet rifle and is quite accurate.

The Sava in 6.5x284 will be a long action. I had a VLP that I converted to a DBM using the factory metal and a 300win mag, worked supper slick and fed those loaded real long 140s very nicely and gently.
I have had many LR cannons, anymore I am a 6.5x284 guy. I don't like heavy rifles or muzzle brakes, an especially don't like recoil...........
I am building a LtWt hunter as well. It is a parts gun. Stainless 6-lug Mark V, used 23" shilen #2 ss in a Medalist. Barrel has done 1/2moa on a M70, I expect it will still do the same when fitted.
