[QUOTE="Brent, post: 54468, member: 99"] Chris, I understand where you're comming from, I think. If I were in buisiness, I would use a gauge for a customers rifle for the same reasons you mention. I would also prefer a 700 for my custom build up, for some of the reasons you mentioned. Most guys setting the headspace on their Savages are doing it with fired cases from a rifle that has been heaspaced with a gauge, so it's at or a little tighter than it would be when using a gauge anyway. At the risk it might not chamber some or any factory ammo. I don't shoot factory ammo, most people I know don't either. If you do, buy a gauge and use it... If the barrel nut design was used by all for years, the shoulder design without the nut would probably be looked down on just the same, one of them status quo things IMHO. I'd rather own a Remmy or a Savage over a nesika bay action with the quality control issues they been having. Mag box modifications - I'm not sure what the differences are between them, but I wouldn't think it would be too labor intensive to make/convert a box for a Savage. Time is money. Have you ever done one, and any idea what it takes to, and time? I don't have a problem with my 700 triggers, though I do have most of them at 2# or better so they're reliable with just the adjustments tweaked. [/QUOTE]
