The receiver face that abuts the barrel in relation to the centerline of the action.
I'm talking about this guy.
Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter Max 1 Bolt Action Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Barrel 4 Rounds AccuTrigger Realtree Max-1 Camo AccuStock Matte Black Finish 19129
The 12 LRP doesn't have a barrel so much as a truck axle. I'm debating between the two and hoping someone on this forum gives away his custom 700.
The receiver face that abuts the barrel in relation to the centerline of the action.
Keep in mind though, the 700 is popular for a reason. But, being a machinist, I want stuff to be made right, and the tikka is, in my opinion. I personally feel like it is the best bolt gun for the money.

6.5-7mm calibers will offer the best ballistic performance at longe range. 260 is just a 308 necked down accept 6.5mm bullets and is far superior to the 308 due to its long, aerodynamic shape and low recoil. Read this article:
The Case for .260 Remington: A Better Cartridge For Practical Long-Range Shooting
The Remington 700 is the most popular, economic choice for a custom rifle build. I have built 2 sub .50 MOA custom 700 rifle's for $1500-1600 (7mm Rem Mag & 260). All you need is an old 700 SA rifle, barrel of your choice from Douglas barrels - this is an excellent barrel manufacturer that is often overlooked and dismissed as sub par but their barrels flat out shoot and their prices are unbeatable - a good stock (hs precision or bell & Carlson w/ full length aluminum bedding block work fine), and a good gunsmith to blueprint your action, attach & headspace your barrel, bed/float the action, and work on the trigger if it needs it.
Shopping for used part and good deals helps too. If you would like a detailed cost breakdown sheet of my builds PM w/ your email address and I'd be happy to help you out.

The sako TRG is a nice rifle and europtics is getting a run of 6.5x47 Lapua, 260rem and 6.5CM made out from APA. Also give the tikka T3 a look.
