If you know you are just target or bench shooting, I would take a look at the Savage 12 LRP. I was in a similar position when I bought mine. I know I wouldn't do anything else with it so the 26" bull barrel didn't scare me off. It's the trigger I love the most about it, 2 lbs and adjustable down from there. Otherwise I was choosing between the Stealth and the RPR, both in 6.5CM. The tikka has just come out and was pricey in comparison. How's has a new chassis model out as well and that is nice. No shortage of options, that's for sure.

Ya the tikka is a tad bit more expensive and I'm thinking the other ones due to wanting a shorter barrel because I'll be running a suppressor on it how well does the savage you got shoot?

My 12 LRP is an excellent shooter. The trigger is unreal and the action is smooth. Would like a thinner and shorter profile barrel when the time comes but with a savage action, it's a piece of cake and aftermarket support is great. I ring 12" steel with it at 550 regularly. Haven't taken it further as that's the longest at my range but think it would go much further if I asked it too.

My buddy has the Bergara HMR something with the adjustable LOP and cheek rest stock and really likes it as well.

I have an b14hmr in 6.5 and love it it's an amazing gun but I can't seem to get the though out of my head that I need an ar style chassis gun lol

Ya I get that. They certainly are nice. Manufacturers are making choices difficult for us with so many options. I put a 6.5CM ballistic advantage barrel in an AR-10 and it's been giving me fits since day 1. I think the chamber is very tight. Chambering fully and extraction are not reliable at all.
I saw a couple nice 6.5CM AR's posted recently as well that could be options for you if want the semi auto feature rather than a bolt.

But don't think it will save you any money....

Ya but that's a totally new thing I would need to invest into (which I need to sooner or later and learn how to) so would make my spending limit smaller lol

I got myself a Howa HCR and love it...but if I was willing to put more money into it I would have gone with Bergara. Such a beautiful gun.
