[QUOTE="liltank, post: 619271, member: 13275"] I've a big Savage fan. I have a Mod 12 VLP. The thing just plain out shoots. I have gone through 2 barrels. It started life as a .308 that I reamed to 300WSM. That lasted for another 1200rnds after putting about the same amount through in .308Win. I have a custom barrel on it now in .308 again. It is scary accurate with a couple different loads right now. I like the Savage for the very fact I can do all the work on it myself w/o needing a lathe. My support goes that route. However CZ's are some pretty nice rifles. They are fairly accurate for what they are. It would be a toss up between the Savage. But as far as aftermarket is concerned, Savage, Remington, and Winchester will have a better variety with Remington leading the pack. Savage is catching up quickly. If you like the 6.5 caliber but want better barrel life, I will suggest any of the following, 260Rem, 6.5x47 Lapua, 6.5x55 Swede, 6.5 Creedmore, and the 6.5 Grendel. Welcome to LRH, Tank [/QUOTE]
