[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 875950, member: 25383"] if I wanted a Savage, and didn't have the action yet; I'd be looking at the PTA action with a nice barrel. You start out with an action that is three times stiffer than the conventional Savage action. A trigger that will go down to five or six ounces. It comes to you very strait (less than .002"), has a third bedding screw in the correct place and is perpendicular to the axis centerline. For $500, this one is a winner! There's also the Savage custom shop option (about $1750), and you can order just about any caliber they now chamber or have chambered in the past. The built rifle comes with a proof target that has three shots from factory loaded ammo. The one I examined was chambered in 6BR, and the three shot target was about .180" using factory Federal ammo. P.S. tested one in 22-250 that also came with a sub .20" target. That gun in 6BR with good hand loads ought to be plain scarey! gary [/QUOTE]
