[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 428401, member: 9775"] Is there anyone else that has build a custom rifle off of a Savage action with any advice? If you were to do it again what would you do differently? If I bed the action in a good quality stock and true the action, what can I expect from the stock barrel? Will I get unexplained fliers? I won't be able to afford the stock and a barrel at the same time. Should I true the action, put on an after market barrel, and bed it in the factory stock? Or should I true the action and bed it in an after market stock using the factory barrel? My experience with Savages has me leaning towards getting the stock first since the factory barrels are far better than the factory stocks. Any other help is appreciated as well. I will also be selling my Savage fv 223 that shoots .4" groups at 100 yards (factory original), and a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather 308 that has had the trigger done and is in the smiths getting a bedding job done as we speak. Before the bedding job that rifle would shoot 7/8" groups at a 100 yards, if anyone is interested. [/QUOTE]
