[QUOTE="57goldtopman, post: 1052926, member: 88062"] Hello, I am new to this forum...I have enjoyed reading and learning from posts on this site. I am currently on deployment overseas and will be back in a couple months. when I return I will be purchasing one of these rifles for hunting (small to heavy game), target, long range, etc. basically trying to set up a rifle to do most of what I want. not perfect for everything but good enough for most. I prefer to be a 1 rifle guy. learn to use it well. my previous rifles have ranged from a Ruger 6mm rem, 300RUM sendero, custom 458 win mag. I reload and enjoy the flexibility of the different cartridges. my last rifle was the Sendero. during that time I really wished I had the 338 RUM rather than 300. because I liked the large efficient bullets and because....just because. I have done quite a bit of reading lately. I do not want to order a custom rifle. looking to get off the shelf rifle. heard very good things about the accuracy of the savage. so that is the way I wish to go. so, my current 2 choices are the Savage 12 Long Range Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor or the Savage 110 FCP HS Precision in 338 Lapua. trying to research both of these has been somewhat difficult. most posts deviate way to far from the original topic. I am not looking for other cartridge ideas or other rifle ideas . if there are real positives or negatives to each I would like to hear them...not over exaggerations like the 338 will blow up deer, or 6.5 is too small. looking for accurate info. currently I am leaning toward the 338. yes I already know of the costs of the ammo and reloading supplies. I have investigated both reloading wise. any thoughts to better help me decide from experienced shooters will be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
