[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1253209, member: 4566"] Buy the cheapest junked out Savage you can. Add Shilen, Criterion, X-caliber or other barrel. Recoil lug and stock. Home true it all and shoot. Action $250 Barrel $3-400 Lug $40 Stock $150-750 That combo will shoot as good as you for a long time, will have a REAL barrel and you won't have to wait for a gunsmith to work on it. Gunsmith time and real time are not the same thing lol. If you hate Savages, use the same principle to build a Remage and upgrade it the same way. Spending $1k for a factory rig MAY get you where you want to go but if it doesn't, get ready to spend another $3k to get there. I personally don't see any logic in buying a high dollar factory gun with the intention of UPGRADING. You are paying for the same thing twice. If you want to UPGRADE, buy cheap for the action only and then upgrade. [/QUOTE]
