[QUOTE="Docman90, post: 1175560, member: 95158"] Hello I have looked at this forum and read a lot about this topic but I have not found one with an actual beginning budget or caliber. I want either a Savage 116 or Remington 700 in 300 win mag. The budget I have for the rifle is $625. That is the best price for Savage 116's in 300 win mag in my area. I would like to mainly use this gun for target shooting. I would like to be able to go out to my buddies property and just put out targets and shoot them from long range, he has a lot of land literally in the middle of no where the perfect place to long range shoot. I would probably eventually re-barrel it. And put a new stock on them. I know from talking to other people that Savages are getting really good at re-barreling and it really is not that expensive to do it as well and I have found excellent stocks for Savages. So I am not worried about parts as it seems that Savages are becoming easier and easier to find parts as people have said before. So i am just wondering what your advice is for good accurate gun right out of the box until i save up my money and be able to upgrade it. I am just looking for you guy's expertise on what gun is better in the price range that I have stated right out of the box until I decide i have the money to upgrade. Thanks guys for your expertise on this caliber in those guns in this price range. [/QUOTE]
