[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 700158, member: 6705"] Spend the money on the barrel now and save money on the parts that are easier and cheaper to upgrade. Get a McGowan, Shilen, Criterion, or Pacnor. Shaw is a decent barrel but not much of an upgrade from factory. Ross Schuler and his partner make the best brakes for the $$. Headspace your barrel, mark TDC and send it to Ross. For a stock, the Boyd is fine once it is pillar'd and bedded. No reason to spend more on the laminates from Stocky. Or, a better value would be a takeoff stock from a 112 BVSS rifle. I've had very good luck with the factory 3 screw triggers. They won't go down to 1#, but you can get them very crisp and light enough with a new spring wire and careful adjustment. For rings and bases I prefer Burris Xtreme bases and Burris Signature Zee's. All steel, protect your scope, and can put in more than enough angle that you won't need a MOA rail. Viper is a good choice for scope. Good features for the $$. Be aware, the long range HS models have 1/2" elevation clicks. I've built a Savage or two. Let me know if you have any more questions.
