[QUOTE="wjarrell, post: 1494338, member: 93250"] An older flat back Savage was my first build as well. I tried to keep the project as cheap as possible. I kept the 3 screw trigger and worked it over to about 2.5 pounds. Boyds Pro Varmint stock and a light varmint Criterion pre fit in 260 rem. My gun weighs in at about 12 pounds with a Vortex HSLR, heavy but manageable. Shoots 140 vlds at .5 moa with very little load development, I'm gonna try eld's this winter because they are cheaper than the bergers. Just a heads up be prepared to be addicted to building rifles. I built this gun 2 years ago and have built one every year since. [/QUOTE]
