what's your intended use? heard real good things about the tikka tactical varieties. i recently bought a tikka t3x lite (lite's are not threaded) for hunting, real smooth action and real nice trigger.

I've been looking at the savage 110 tactical in 6.5 creedmoor. Not getting one anytime soon but I like the idea of putting together a tactical/precision rifle, maybe my next eventual project. Looks like a pretty good deal out of the box, detachable mags, chassis type overmolded stock, spacer and cheek riser inserts, oversized bolt handle, 20MOA rail, threaded. I see them advertised under $600.

The advantages of 6.5 over 308 are probably minimal at any distance I could find to shoot but I think that similar performance up to 300 yards but less recoil with the 6.5 puts it as the winner for me. I've been looking around and ammo prices and availability are almost identical with the possible exception of surplus 308.

Buy the bolt gun you WANT.
Have it threaded. Easy Peazy

Disagree completely. To thread one correctly, you need to pull the barrel and put it in a lathe. That is not going to be nearly as cheap as buying one that's factory threaded.

You do NOT need to pull the barrel.
Gunsmith lathes have pass through head stocks, and you can insert a barreled action.
Short Action Customs and Long Rifles Inc can thread, perfectly concentrically, a barreled action, with about a 1 day turn around in their shop, 1 week door to door.
SAC did my 700 barreled action.
How much does it cost to have a barrel threaded?

I’d go with a Howa 1500 barreled action from Brownells. Barrels available for 308 and 6.5 threaded from 20”-26”. Put it in whatever stock/chassis you want. Watch for sales too.

That's interesting but I could see that going into a real money drain real fast (I'm not the best on the self-restraint thing). I'm looking for a $500ish rifle and stock setup. Looks like the Savage has best advantage for an "adjustable stock". It looks like a decent optic will cost as much as the rifle, but I already knew that.

Had one of those, sold it because I could not get a good suppressor mounting on it due to the front sight/barrel shoulder on it.
Went to a 700 SPS, but also like Savage 10s

Interesting. I have not attempted to suppress mine. Not sure if i ever will. So the supressor hits the front bead? Im confused?

On mine, when I unscrewed the flash hider, there was no good barrel shoulder to stop the suppressor mount, just the front sight mount, which is like a sleeve that slides over the barrel, which wasn’t straight enough to use.
Never had that problem on the Remington or Savage, but they also had no front sight either.
They may have changed them, but the end of the barrel on mine was shaped like this, dark sleeve is front sight:

I have not encountered this problem in my personal experience. Sico ASR mount works great. I like the GSR, but there are plenty of other great bolt guns out there. Like posted above, hard to find a bad US made bolt gun these days.

How would have these types of rifles in stock in central MD?
Who would? Call Duffy's

I picked one up at Baltimore’s best pawn. They have all kinds of stuff stocked as well as stuff that comes in the door. Also an IP. Duffy’s May have something as well.
