[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 2176932, member: 111250"] I think some ( a lot) of the comments assume this was just a factory rifle from Savage, the only thing that was left factory was the action chambered to a barrel from Savage. Everything else was as folks would call Custom built - stock, trigger, high moa picatinny rail, scope bi-pod etc. So its really not a fair comparison when saying a feller out shot the rich kids custom high dollar rigs with a off the shelf rifle The only difference really is a Savage chambered the barrel to a Savage action versus a gun smith. If I were to have had my 338 Barrett there that day then it would of been more of a factory rifle do to the design of the 98B and theres not a lot you can change out to improve the accuracy. I will say for folks wanting to get into shooting steel we have told many that for a 260. 6.5 stuff the heavy barrel Savage LRPs were great right out of the box. We had a great time shooting at Camp Atterbury that day and it was fun seeing Randy make three impacts on the steel that morning. He’s a great shot as many there and the 338LM was on fire shooting very well. I am osoh JH [/QUOTE]
