    Looking at maybe a Savage 6.5 creedmoor The 10 Ashbury or the 12LRP. What do u think of them both? Any other suggestions around the same price?

    I have also looked at those rifles for several months. My new rifle will strictly be used for PA deer hunting with a suppressor. I have decided to go with a Ruger American Compact in 6.5 CM. It has a 20" threaded barrel. Since I am adding a suppressor, (OSS HX-QD 762 Ti), to the barrel I wanted a short barrel. The Ruger Compact has the shortest threaded barrel in 6.5CM.

    Just My $0.02.

    Good Luck with your choice!

    Hard to not pick the Savage as you can do so much with that action. I've owned a lot of firearms over the years and will tell you I like how modular the Savage action is...it's very easy to work on and requires minimum tools to swap calibers/barrels.

    If you get a chassis, just know you are getting a heavy rifle.

    I would figure out the purpose of the rifle as if it's for primary purpose is for hunting, you will want something lighter...lugging around a heavy rifle to hunt is not fun.

    If it was my money, I'd got with a Tikka action as you won't get a factory action that's as smooth and as nice as Tikka. You can rebarrel a Tikka yourself too.
