I've searched some old threads, but I am looking to replace my Savage 110 Ultralite 6.5 Creedmoor that I'm about to sell. The bolt slop bothers me too much and I'm also just in the mood to buy a new rifle, but it shoots great and I love the barrel and weight. I would like to keep the rifle below $1k. I could probably go a little above $1k, but prefer not to if it's not worth it.
I'd like to have a threaded barrel but I'm also likely to do an aftermarket in a few years. Also, I'd prefer a sub-6 lb gun but it's not a deal breaker. I would like for it to definitely be under 7 lbs though. I am looking at the below. Please let me know if there are others I should be looking at and any opinions you guys have on any of these.
Browning X-bolt (never shot a Browning)
Tikka T3 Lite (Have eyed these for years but like to avoid Beretta if possible. Aftermarket is a plus though)
Sauer 100 (hard to find much info on them)
Kimber Hunter (seems like people either love them or hate them)
Bergara B-14 (seems like it's a little heavier)
Weatherby Vanguard
Christensen Mesa (Probably just over $1k and I hear bad QC, but not sure if they've fixed that)
