[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 939176, member: 15229"] Okay, a little more. I'm okay with a mag system like the 12 as I would like to shoot targets and such and then possible put it into another stock for hunting. Most of my hunting will be accomplished by the 6.5 Creedmoor. I do like the 300 WSM cartrifge too, so if the bolt head can be replaced that is a plus. I don't think I'll need a long action on this one. Shorter cartridges like 6.5 Creed, 6 br, 22-250 and at most running a 300 WSM are the goal. I do have a 116 BGH longaction and I run a 6.5x55 through it for now if that helps. One issue, accutrigger? I don't know if I want to keep it. I now see Timney making a trigger for Savage accutrigger replacement. So I like the idea of trigger options. That's probably my biggest concern in the build. 2nd would be changing calibers, is it as simple as changing bolt heads on all of their actions? On rem's and others you have to open the face or get a custom bolt. So the savage seems more attractive for versatility.There are plenty of stock options so Savage is looking lore and more attractive to me. Again, trigger flexibility, and bolt head most important. Some may have not seen the news on a Timney trigger for Savage yet, so any experience in that helps too. Is the 10 or 12 the best action? Why if you have played with both? Thanks [/QUOTE]
