[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 930784, member: 1521"] There is a vital factor in 'building' guns that most overlook: proper design. Savage builds guns the way they do because they know how to design guns, and they do a lot of R&D. How many of us have really studied to understanding the design of successful guns? How many of us merely purchase shiny components and screw them together(or have a 'smith' do this)? There is a difference. There are valid reasons for each unique attribute of a WSM Savage. So before you think you can build a better gun, you might at least consider that this will not be as easy as screwing shiny parts together. Ask yourself why does Savage; Use tighter thread pitch and a barrel nut and floating bolt heads use larger barrel tennon for WSM guns Use controlled round push feed, and standing blade ejection with WSM guns If you think its to save money, then you'll never understand why Savages shoot so well.
