[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1855143, member: 1656"] +1 on the Savage. You can make a semi-custom pretty cheap compared to a custom, but remember you have to either buy a whole donor gun or fine a bare action somewhere (doable). There are many sources of economical prefit barrels, which can be done on both Savage and Remington threads. Add an economical stock like a Boyds and a factory trigger and self-bed it and you can get really close to custom performance for a fraction of the price. The aftermarket barrel is worth the improvement. But if your budget is really tight you're likely not going to do this for less than a budget factory rifle. And I've had a few of those sub-1/2MOA with reloads. [/QUOTE]
