[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 372807, member: 307"] Sounds like some great choices for parts and should make a great LR rig. As for the caliber decision, I had pretty much decided on getting a barrel either in 6.5-06 or the AI version for my Savage 112BVSS. My reasoning was that they were ballistic twins, the AI version providing a little more steam, and brass would be more readily available and cheaper. That was until I came across a 6.5X284 this past Friday and bought it Saturday. Scratch the 06 idea. As for triggers, I recently put a Shilen on my 700P and am well pleased. It's a great alternative to the factory trigger. Initially I didn't like the physical feel because it has a narrow shoe but I've gotten used to it and wouldn't take three Remington triggers for it. I also have a Rifle Basix on my Savage and it's great too. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I've had Timneys and they're good aftermarket triggers too. I catch 'em on sale at Midway and they run about $80-85.00. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
