The 6.5 Creedmoor was certainly the big news from this year’s SHOT Show and likely to be future of long-range shooting. If you are serious about going long, Savage’s new Model 10 GRS will be a must have regardless of whether you go with the newer, sexy 6.5 Creedmoor or the venerable .308 Winchester. Here is the full release from Savage Arms. 
Savage Arms is pleased to offer serious long-range shooters a new secret weapon with the Savage Model 10 GRS. The rifle delivers exceptional accuracy and performance whether you’re engaged in top-level competition or simply trying to beat your personal best. Shipments of these firearms are currently being delivered to dealers.
The Model 10 GRS houses the full suite of accuracy-enhancing Savage features firmly within a GRS stock made of 15 percent fiberglass-reinforced Durethan, with 65 percent glass bedding material.
The rock-stable stock’s slimmed down dimensions and textured surfaces provide a better grip in wet conditions, while its length-of-pull can be adjusted to fit any shooter. Plus, its Savage action, precise button rifling, fluted heavy barrel and user-adjustable AccuTrigger deliver the accuracy of custom rifles at a fraction of the price.

Good morning from Las Vegas. Dose the Salvage model 10 GRS come in a left handed modle ? Thanks Jon
On the savage website, they say they can configure it for you. You should be able to get it as a lefty.
I talked to Savage at the NRA show. The GRS is currently the only Model 10 not offered in a LH version, however, they expect to have it soon. Until then, if you contact them they can build it for you. ~Dave Dolbee
Although I haven’t had the opportunity yet to fire these newer long range calibers, I can say with extreme prejudice that I find the 308 my current choice of knocking down some great shots at extreme distances. So with the advent of newer range enhancement I’m looking forward to hearing about some extreme distance rounds setting new records!
The new Savage & the Ruger Precision Rifle are the best bets going for long range shooting without breaking the bank. I prefer Ruger product but also appreciate Savage product.
The Howa HCR in .308 or 6.5 are also both contenders. My choices are
1 – Howa (which I got for 985.00
2 – Savage Stealth which runs about 1200
3 – Ruger Precision which runs about 1300.
All are good.
I’ve done the 1000 yard with the 308, but the slightest wind will throw you off.
My Choices:
1. Ruger
2. Ruger
3. Ruger
Can get RPR for $1,150
