Looking at these to rifles what do u think?
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?

Re: Looking at these to rifles what do u think?
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.
