[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 357652, member: 12863"] It really depends on what you intend to do with the gun. Personally I would purchase a Savage Model 116. I like the nut system so I can change out the barrels myself without lathe time. If the Savage did not shoot the way I need it (most do) I would call Benchmark and have a pre-everything 3 groove barrel made for $400. A Stevens (made by Savage) is running $350. and the only difference from a Savage is the Accutrigger is not on the Stevens. If I did not like the Savage Accutrigger ( I do) I would send the Action to Sharp Shooters Supply and have the action trued and have either his standard trigger installed for hunting or his new Benchrest trigger installed while waiting for the new barrel. All for $250.-$300. Don't like the stock? Many out there for $300. for any application you can think of. SO there is $1000. if you choose to keep the stock! Then smile after you are shooting one hole groups and you still have an extra thou to treat yourself to??? Neal [/QUOTE]
