[QUOTE="sundance1972, post: 1005081, member: 17911"] Jerry Teo put together my 338-06AI for me a couple years ago and couldn't be happier with it. Savage 111 action McGowan prefit 26" barrel, heavy magnum contour Timney trigger Vortex Viper 4-12 Total cost was maybe $1200, including scope, Redding dies were another $125. Currently shooting 210gr TTSX (2850fps) into 1/2"-5/8" groups @ 100. Am able to take them up higher, but 2850 seems to be their "happy place". The only drawback in using the Savage I can see is the poor selection of stocks available up here in Canada. Considering building a 260 on one of my Savage Axis', but they (243 and 7mm-08) are too accurate to pull apart?? [/QUOTE]
