[QUOTE="Armed in Utah, post: 521435, member: 965"] One thing has not been mentioned as I read....the LRP is built using the s/shot target action & target Accue trigger..the target Accue trigger is superb...also the LRP has a large shank action...1.118" opposed to the M10 using a standard size shank of 1.055"....there are more prefit aftermarket barrels available for the std size shank than the large shank...getting a large shank barrel usually mean having a barrel built which is usually a 8-10 week wait...FYI.... My last two Savage builds have been both on large shank actions...which are both s/shot solid bottoms...the one is an older 'M' series using a SSS trigger..Pac Nor 8 twist/3 groove no taper 260 AI 28" tube & Choate Varminter stock & Bushnell 6500 6-24 Tact scope..18.6# Most recent using a Savage Target action & Pac Nor 28" no taper tube 8 twist/3 groove 6.5x55..currently wearing a Millet 4-16x50 Tact scope...Choate Varminter stock...weighs +18# also...thse are both LR heavy target/p-dog rifles...both excellent shooters in the magical 6.5 mm calibers.... The 6.5 CM I'm sure is an efficient cartridge...but I wouldn't want to be held at bay by Hornady for a brass suppy...the 260 will never run out of a constant brass supply using any premium 308 brass from Lapua..IMI....etc........even Lapua 260 is out..(on the shelf ?) The two rifles compared are apples & oranges....one is an 11# target rifle..& one built to carry easily...Savage barrels are good...but only so good...crowns usually need to be touched up...remember it is a mass produced rifle...not one assembled in your basement/gargage...they do not have the quality that can be had from any custom barrel builder...but the nearly $500 barrel cost reflects the quality....
