I am looking at the Savage Desert Tactical in 6.5 24in and the Rem 700 Magpul 6.5 22in. What is a better option all around ? Thoughts will help guys. Thanks.
 
Warning, just an opinion: I don’t like Remington, go with the savage.

Fact: if you like to work on your rifle yourself, savage is a lot more diy friendly.

Lots of aftermarket parts for both, draw.

Negative for savage: they keep changing everything every so many years. Some parts are interchangeable, some are not.

The best choice: Browning x bolt in any of the models with a heavy barrel. Drawback, almost no aftermarket and they’re pretty hard to work on. But it’s a browning, buy it, shoot it as is, see for yourself why they cost more. Just thought I’d throw a third into the ring, haha.
 
i bought a cheap savage 12fv 6.5 for 400$ and added an MDT chassis and mags for about 300$(black friday factory secends). bolt is not smooth as 1000$ guns, but it shoots and looks really good.
