[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 336514, member: 12"] If you want to stay with the savage action, then couple things to consider. The savage actions are a little different in bedding and other tweaks. Fred Moreo and Kevin Rayhill are two of the best and most often used. I would strongly recommend truing and timing the action. In fact, you might find you are ahead to ask Fred at SSS if he has one already in stock already done. He normally keeps a couple for immediate sale. I have seen warped Savage actions, so have it checked. SSS sells some very good laminate stocks. Get one, well worth the money. Stay with one bullet, the 175 gr (either SMK or Berger). The 168 will go subsonic at 900 or so and start keyholing, so why work up a load with it when you will go the 175 eventually anyway. The 175 will go much further. Start shooting F class to learn wind doping and basic LR shooting. ergo another reason to go with the 175 over the 168 as you shoot out to 1000. 1-11 twist is the standard for most. Now having said that, you might want to look at the savage FTR or palma rifles in 308. Good to go out of the box and sell for under $1000 Go to [URL="http://www.savageshooters.com"]www.savageshooters.com[/URL] and Northlander there normally has them for sale. Good place to find a savage already set up or barrel and stock for sale also. BH [/QUOTE]
