Thats why I'm kinda partial to the savage, saves money that would normally go to paying a smith. Right now I have a stock Savage 11 with a Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44. I'm guessing it weighs in the 7.5# range but it doesnt shoot the heavier bullets very well. I think its reamed for 120s.
You are going to be spending a lot of money, just to shave a pound or two off what you have already. That 6.5 Creedmore, with 120 premiums will do everything that you need, unless you are just looking for an excuse to have a new rifle.
