[QUOTE="junkpile, post: 856361, member: 57489"] Lots of options, really. If you're just doing bench work, one of the Savage bench models would suit you well. I've been planning a build for a considerable amount of time, and keep going through the same manufacturers you're talking about. Ruger used to make a VT model - not sure if they still do - nice laminated wood stock, with a longer heavier barrel. Downside on Ruger is the fact that there is very little aftermarket support for them. But that VT model shoots extremely well. Wish I had kept mine. Realisitically, if you're in that price bracket, find a good target rifle, and put a SWFA fixed on it. Also, if you look through the articles database here, there was one on doing a budget build on a Savage action. Unfortunately, the pictures aren't on it anymore - at least I can't see them, anyway. Lots and lots of aftermarket support on the 700. Not quite as much for Savage, but decent. And, have been hearing lots of great stuff about the Tikkas. Probably didn't help you narrow it down, there are really lots of options and lots of manufacturers that will do what you're talking about. What is your shooting background? How much time have you spent working in the 500-600 yard range? What are you shooting currently? [/QUOTE]
