[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2344124, member: 120766"] Thank you for this, this is all super on-point info. I can tell you for sure that I want everything that I need right now without fiddling. The "everything that I need" is what this post is about and your response tells me a lot. I wouldn't necessarily mind learning how to work with a rifle to enhance accuracy, but right now I'd rather spend my time getting ready for my next hunt. On "cheesy stocks", I'm getting the sense that you are referring to both the ergonomics/ability to support practical, in-the-field accuracy and supporting inherent accuracy in the rifle design. Is that right? Are you saying that the Savage stock with the aluminum bedding (do they still call that the AccuStock?) covers both of those bases? If so, are you saying that basically the Savage is more or less the equal of the Sako/Christensen/Bergara for my limited purposes? Not sure if I'm missing something there... I actually used to have one of those Savages with the AccuStock in 30-06 and it shot pretty well. The stock was definitely cheesy in the sense that it did not look very cool or high-end. On the caliber, it sounds like 6.5 CR gets a lot of shade, but it does seem like the best fit for me if I am going to forego .243, since I want something with low recoil and good factory load availability, as I won't be reloading for the time being. One issue is the red tape in my state around ammo (especially hunting ammo). Right now, it seems like 6.5 CR is more available than most calibers. [/QUOTE]
