[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1569255, member: 61747"] Budget builds are always fun. I looked at the savage lightweight storm which is right around 5.6lbs and it seems like a great mountain rifle. I would install a sightron stac 4-20x50 moa scope on it. Total package would be under 1200 easily. I can get that scope for 280 and the rifle for 650 so I figure under 1k if you work at it. I am not a savage fanatic but I have built many rifles off the action and have never had a bad one. I run rifle basix sav2 triggers or the accutrigger depending on the set up. You can do a lot with a savage if you do most of the work yourself and save some coin. This is my latest build. Trued the action, bedded the stock, painted it etc. I was lucky and won the stock. Currently I am running 140ELDs out of the 20" proof barrel at 2768 fps with Peterson brass. [/QUOTE]
