Thinking about getting one of these two rifles. I wanted a savage for a while now and love the new Long Range Hunters they recently came out with. Especially the 26" barrels, on-off muzzlebreak feature and offerings in 6.5mm...
Question I have... is which one? the 11 6.5 Creedmore or the 111 6.5x284 Norma.
What I plan on using it for...
Deer, antelope and varmits.
I pretty much do not have a varmit rifle and would like to have something that can also go for a deer too if I so choose.
Savage is pretty known for some crazy factory accuracy and I have heard nothing but good things about these rifles.
6.5 Creedmore is intriguing due to the short action. I love my 300 WSM precisely because it is a nice short action rifle.. This savage comes with a nice 26" barrel and is basically identical to the 111 but with different caliber offerings.
6.5x284 Norma gets some great long distance reviews and has about 100+ fps on the Creedmore.
Does anyone have either of these and offer some insight?
