[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 114514, member: 8947"] If you have read my other posts, you know how much I like the Savage/Stevens actions for building LR target/hunting rifles. They are very well made and run smoothly and accurately. You can certainly discuss with other smiths but I have built enough to conclude that you get an almost BR trued action out of the box. I run my loads at elevated pressures and runout is zero, cases stay true. That shows me lock up is excellent/consistent/strong and nothing is done to the action. Some of the barrels are just prethreaded/chambered ones and not fit specifically to that action. Not bad at all. Aftermarket is now broad enough to satisfy any tastes. Accutrigger head and shoulders over the factory Rem. Better then just about everyone. however, the biggest plus going since you are building WSM rifles - their new centerfeed mags. Smooth as silk. I really don't think even Win/Browning is as nice. Savage and a bunch of barrels. Now you can have a whole family of WSM's instead of just two. Jerry [/QUOTE]
