Not too long ago I got a Savage 12FV .223 which have been enjoying. Now the next on the list is the 6.5 creedmore bolt action rifle. Now I am trying to look for one that is heavy barrel as plan on going past 200+yds, don't do competition shooting as I don't have the skill yet. Actually far from it. Do plan to shoot it more than the other rifles I have, which is not much. Slowly adding. The 2 ranges I go to only allow paper targets only.
What I don't like about the 12FV is the top load, took me a bit to get used to loading this way. Frustrating at first, but now not so much a big deal. It has a 2 piece rail which at first wanted a one piece. A member here was kind enough to try a one piece rail on a rifle he owns and was having difficulty loading the ammunition. On this new rifle I plan on putting a 20moa rail. Wouldn't mind getting a threaded barrel as I checked two gunsmiths and it would be between $120-$150 plus the wait time.
Not trying to spend $1,200 but can if need be.
I was considering a Remington, but from replies to some threads I posted and others I have read, people mention quality problems with this company. Now not so sure. Since I lack knowledge, I don't know what stay away from.
Open to suggestions. Thanks guys.
