I’m planning on ‘building’ a chassis rifle for backpack hunting over the next year. I’ve settled on 6.5CM in a XLR Magnesium folding chassis based on my research. but now I’m trying to find a good donor rifle to use.
Because I’m trying to not overspend on this, I’ve decided to buy a complete rifle and use the action+barrel instead of buying each part individually. After some research, I’m stuck between using a Tikka Superlite with the stainless fluted barrel or the Savage ultralight 110 that comes with a carbon fiber barrel. They are about the same price it looks like.
Anyone have thoughts on which would be better? Or other rifles I should consider?
Thanks!
