[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1176501, member: 91090"] I have always been a 700 guy. Over 40 years of it. What recently attracted me to savage was the results I am seeing on the range with out of the box rifles and the final straw was the ease of changing barrels. You can have one rifle stock/action and multiple barrels without sending it off to a gunsmith and waiting a year for it to come back to you. By then I have forgotten why I built that rifle. If you are the do it yourself type, and I am, this is the gun for you. Much like building AR's but simpler. Lots of upgrades available to experiment with. I have a two target actions, a 6BR and a 6.5 creedmoor barrel and a laminated long range benchrest stock. Thinking of adding a McMillian A3 stock and a 6.5 saum and 300 wsm in sportster contour barrels and use those for long range hunting rifles. My go to hunting rifle is a custom built 700. My range playtoys are adding savage to the list. [/QUOTE]
