Need help & direction on rifle build/mods

[gostovp]

A couple rifles I currently have and am thinking about mod’ing:
1. Browning Abolt II Stalker in .243
2. Savage 110 Lightweight Storm in .308

110 Lightweight Storm with Adjustable Fit | Savage Arms

The 110 Lightweight Storm features a 20" stainless steel barrel, spiral-fluted bolt, synthetic stock, and weighs only 5.65 pounds for maneuverability.

( I hate this gun.. it kicks like a mule to me)

First thought is chop and thread the barrel on the abolt. This might be challenging because the barrel profile

Second thought is to rebarrel and restock the Savage in 6mm Creedmoor. Not the greatest action but I have it and I don’t like the gun in its current configuration…

Either gun will wear a suppressor

Or buy a 6mm Creedmoor factory rifle..

Thoughts?

If you’ve never done a savage barrel swap, it’s worth doing at least once. 6cm seems like an excellent choice. 16” or 18” with your choice of can would be my advice

How much do you want to spend?

Here’s a gunsmith you spins up his own prefit barrels that I’ve used (and others here) recently. He does good work at a significantly cheaper price:

Anywhere.

I put a 6CM on a Savage LWH and it is accurate but the action is not deal. It is my wife's rifle now.

Yeah Google searches are taking me all over… I don’t know what’s good and what isn’t …

I have had good luck with McGowen but some have not. Lots of people like Preferred Barrels. I just did a Google search for Savage prefits and pretty much any of the ones on the first page (McGowen, X-Calicer, Shilen, Preferred, Criterion, Krieger, Proof, Shaw) are good. Just depends on what you want to pay or how long you want to wait.
