Talking New Build Idea

So after building one Savage rifle (almost complete) I've got the bug. The idea for a long range rifle for the wife has been floating around in my brain for a while.

The problem was what caliber? I didn't want to insult her with an enemic caliber and I don't want to punish her shoulder. I think I've found the solution, either 6.5x55 Swede (prefered) or 6.5 Creedmor, depending on whether I come up with a long action or short action donor. As I haven't fired either round so I need some input from you guys on this choice.

Details of the build: Savage S/S action (tuned and timed), stanless match varmint contour barrel (maybe with a brake), fancy laminated stock, good medium price scope.

This will be done piece by piece over time as deals are found.

Any suggestions will be appreciated
