Great cartridge. Savage LA aftermarket stocks are your limiting factor. It depends on your taste and budget though. I've researched them in the past but never bought one. B&C's look nice and IMO they're the closest looking and functioning to a HS Precision that I know of, without breaking the bank. Boyds and Choate are also options.
I prefer 26-30" barrels in varmint or Sendero contour. For some, these are too heavy but they fit my style for now.
Northland Shooters Supply has barrels, stocks and triggers and great to deal with. I got lucky and found a Savage pre-fit barrel on clearance there and it has been incredible. 26", 8t, Shilen, S/S Select Match, Varmint 6mmBR Norma for $309, total. I think I could load bullets backwards and it would still shoot under 1/2"! .1-.2's groups are not so uncommon anymore.
Pac-Nor, which I highly recommend, is a solid choice. I rebarreled my .300WinMag, 112BVSS with a 28", 9t, 5g S/S Select Match Sendero contour; $488.17 (out the door). It is a very consistent, precise barrel.
A short testament; I worked up a load for the 212gn ELD-X with RL26. I loaded 3 of 74.0 & 74.5gn each. Both were ragged hole groups. If fact if I had shot the same orange dot the groups would have measured sub .5". 74.5gn was a tad faster, so of course I went with that. 6 bullets. It was printing 3" at 100yds and running 3065fps, with bullets stacking up on each other. Weeks later, I tried the 225gn ELD-M, dropped the powder 1.0gn and shot a 3-shot group which printed exactly 3.25" high and measured a high .3". Those were the only 3 bullets I used for load development w/the 225's. That, to me, is a consistent and quality barrel. The first time I tried it at 1100yds it printed a 5" group with those 225gn's.
I did try a 28", 8t, 6.5-284 Norma, Lothar Walther, Savage pre-fit and it was a smooth, non-fouling, no break-in, shooting, son of a gun. Accuracy was sub .5" with 147gn ELD-M's and Retumbo. A friend was so enamored with the rifle he had to have it.
For triggers I recommend Rifle Basix and Timney. Both are excellent aftermarket triggers. To me, ones as good as the other. Sale price usually dictates a purchase.
If it were me, I'd go with a 28", 8t, 5g Pac-Nor S/S SM in 7mmRM. After installing and measuring my cartridge OAL with bullet of choice (175-180), I would probably extend the throat if need be. SAAMI chambers limit so many fine LR cartridges. Just my opinion though.
