6.5 for $125

[rp]

I was talking to a buddy today at lunch and we got on the subject of guns after we abused DNR and women for a while. He has just bought a Savage 6.5 Creed for $125. On sale for $225 at Cabelas and a $100 rebate.

How cheap can they go?

By the way, we ate at a place called The War Mouth in Cottontown (Columbia). They hold themselves out as a BBQ place, but it isn't. A dinner time wood grilled Ribeye is $29. I need to go buy a new grill and for 6 of those I can have a new Weber I have been eyeing. Wood smoked ribs are 8/16/32 depending on size. All kinds of good stuff that I don't think make up a BBQ joint.

Good atmosphere.

Right off of Main, 2 blocks from Elmwood on Franklin Street.

Back on the gun, he is wondering which scope now....

The War Mouth is good for overpaying for supper and excellent drinks.

The Boyd Crowder is my jam.

I didn't see anything referring to Boyd Crowder. Or Jam. And I have not seen the movie.

Wish i could find one for that price.

Cabelas on sale is what I was told.

[CurLee]

Axis I assume? I would start with a stock if so.

One of the owners/chefs and are old highschool buddies, one of the funniest guys you can talk to, witty as hell. His father catered barbecue around here for years. They built a pit, but I don't know how far they've gone or what they're cooking on it yet. He can cook, and they have fun playing with food.

Take the food talk shit to the Grill'n forum........

Like Curlee said, take that stock and throw it in the trash. Then get a B&C or Boyd's, then get a Nikon Prostaff and rock that bitch out !!

$100 rebate ended 1/31

I was "trying" to sight in a Axis for one of my buddies. The crosshairs would move on the target by me just laying my hand on the stock. It's the worst stock I've ever seen.

[Griffin]

Good stocks on production rifles seem to be a thing of the past

[CurLee]

What are your thoughts on the action? Are parts available/interchangeable with other Savage actions? Can they be tightened up? Is it worth it or just do as TD said, stock, scope, and rock on??

Minus the stock they are decent. With that said I would never buy one and put money into it. I'd get a rem 700 or savage 10

[Tha Dick]

You’re getting exactly what you’re paying for, a cheap rifle. Don’t try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear......

Beat the piss out if it! When it tears up, throw it in the trash and buy another.

[CurLee]

Bout what I figured. Here's what I'm thinking. Boyds laminate stock, DNZ mount, and vortex diamondback. Purpose being a one-season deer rifle while I build my 7.62x54r, then just being a back-up rifle for trips. Bonus is I wouldn't feel bad about cutting down the stock when my daughters are ready.

rp, sorry to hijack, just expanding on your question.

Solid plan

Griffin what’s the difference in a model 10 and model 11
I ask because I have a model 11 and want to make it better
It’s all stock right now

Nothing as far as actions. Some factory trim options are different but for upgrading purposes they are the same

What you using as a base rifle for the 7.62x54r?

[CurLee]

The gurus on here might have a laugh but I don't care. It's a pre-war M91/30.
