I just bought a Howa Alpine in 6.5 Creedmoor but honestly I would be happy with either cartridge. I just had been wanting to try 6.5 CM since I first heard about the cartridge and the opportunity knocked. So, basically I am no help here I think either would serve you well.
It is true that longer barrels can produce more velocity, however every cartridge has a point of diminishing returns and a 7mm-08 performs very well out of a 22" barrel. In practical hunting situations you will never miss that 60-100 fps you might gain. If you run ballistics of your cartridge...
I wish you could have filled that tag but you got to experience a hunt very few of us Kansas lads ever get to do in our home state. You stuck with it until the last and gave great effort. You are a young guy I see filled elk tags in your future, thanks for taking us along.

I would suggest looking at youtube as well to get a taste of...

In that price point I just recently saw a CDNN flyer that had Browning Abolts with a Nikon scope right in there and a couple a little cheaper. I think the sale ends the 31st. They also have Ruger American Rifles in 270 for $389.00 with no scope. Most Savages I have known were decent shooters but...
