[QUOTE="toddc, post: 735990, member: 4566"] Best starter gun out there by FAR. Trigger is just fine if you are capable of 3rd grade level screwdriver twisting. That 25-06 for about $300 becomes a 7mm STW,300UM,338 edge. You wont find that in any other brand. Jerry Teo has written some good articles on it. Think about this. Buy the 25-06......$250 would be fine. Sell old stock, barrel, scope, lug on ebay. Add a real stock.....B&C, choate, boyds all offer stocks under $200 (Boyds under $100) Or an XLR for 1k! Add recoil lug ($35) Work trigger(15 minutes reading time) Bed ($10) Add any barrel you want that isnt gibbs based for $300 give or take. So now you have a gun in any caliber you want that SHOULD shoot around .5MOA for a grand total of $795 to $1795 without counting your ebay money. I would leave the 06 Barrel till I had the trigger squared away and stock and lug done. You may be happy with that....if not screw one of many prefits on it and rock n roll. I have 3 savages with about 20 barrels and 1/5 in cost of any other make and I dont have to rely on the most timely class of individuals on the planet...A GOOD GUNSMITH. I can have a savage in any caliber delivered to my house on monday. By sunday I will have every part I need delivered and installed which will normally produce a gun that will slip under .5MOA regularly. My gunsmith bill???? 0! [/QUOTE]
