[QUOTE="Imho, post: 507040, member: 32070"] Thanks for the advice Tank. The intention is to keep the AccuStock for the time being. I haven't used the AccuTrigger on the new Savages so I'll see how that performs before making a decision on that. I also intend to get the new and old style barrel nut wrench, and the action wrench, even though I think I'll replace the barrel nut with the older slotted style. The barrel will probably be a 26" stainless match barrel with a threaded 3-slot "tactical"-type muzzle brake. The biggest decision I have at the moment is what calibre. Although I'd probably be happy with the .300WM, I already have a sporter-weight hunting rifle that shoots ~7/8". I'm tempted to try a .300 WBY MAG as I wouldn't have to make any bolt-head changes and the ballistics are not far behind the .300RUM. If I don't get the LRH then I'll order the Karsten cheek piece separately. Once again, because I'm in Australia it's not so easy to order a custom configuration from Savage. The lead time is huge. Never forget how lucky you are to have the options available in the US. [/QUOTE]
