[QUOTE="jeffreykooken, post: 942161, member: 32952"] As a left hand shooter, i always look for rem 700 rifles. I know all the other makes are great rifles, but i like to work on stuff. I like the option to change things. I like that most custom gunsmiths specialize on the 700. With a little try and patience, i've built up stocks, pillar bedded, glassed bedded, changed springs and firing pins, adjusted triggers, etc... The 700 used rifle is usually available somewhere. Not all of them will shoot well, but most can be fixed. Most rifles never see 500 rounds fired before someone decides to sell it, so i figure i can clean and tweek good accuracy from the barrel. If not, i can get gunsmiths like darrel holland to rebarrel and true the action. If a guy cant find a 700, and needs a good shooter now, a savage shhots nice, and doesnt cost a bunch. Then keep looking for a 700 used to play with. Jeff. [/QUOTE]
