[QUOTE="pburton, post: 2122920, member: 48978"] There are two ways to look at this in my opinion. If you are looking for an excuse to buy a new rifle, by all means go for it. But, you also have a great platform already, and in a cartridge that would do great on whitetail out to 4-500 yards or further. Have a carbon wrapped barrel spun up in 6 Creedmoor. This will decrease the weight of your current set up. You already have the brass, bullets, and powder for this round, and finding components for another cartridge is going be difficult right now. You can look at places like Straight Jacket Armory, who will build you a prefit Proof barrel for that action. That being said, if you do not want to rebarrel your current set up, a Tikka is a good light weight option. I have had very good luck with them over the years. They typically shoot very well right out of the box. I have never been a big fan of Savages, but it is definitely personal preference. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
