New Savage Build Ideas

Shot a 22-250 years ago and was good on prairie dogs, but wasn't the most accurate rifle. (The gent that owned it was kinda lax on gun care)
I would like a bit more than my 22 hornet on some game. What are the thought on the 22 Creed and 22 ARC in bolt guns?

I love my 22 Creedmoor, it shoots rather well, with a number of different bullets

To me, if I were wanting a smaller capacity case for performance between the 223 and the 22-250, I think the 22 ARC ( which is basically an improved 22 PPC, but with the capability to shoot heavier bullets) seems to be near perfect. If you have a Savage action, you could buy the proper bolt head, and install a barrel from The Urban Rifleman in a slow twist for lighter bullets as well (35-55 grains).
 
224 valkyrie is a good one imo.
I built one with a slow twist fur light boolits. I'm not much into shooting the heavy ones.
Its a great PD round with 50 grainers. Faster than 223 AI but not like the 22-250.
I have no experience with the creedmoor or the ARC.
Ive shot the 6mm ARC.
Its a nice round.
