[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1299307, member: 12995"] I'm not a Savage shooter, but I will say this... If I saw a Rem 700 in a pawn shop for $250-300...It won't still be sitting there when I leave, regardless of whether I needed another project or not. :D $250-350 donor rifle is a hell of cheap way to start an awesome budget build. I'd look into the .300 Ackley instead of the .300 Wby... I built my .300 Ackley back in 2014, it's a hell of a cartridge. They both use .300 Wby brass, but the Ackley has less taper and a 40º rectangular shoulder, instead of the radius Weatherby shoulder. It holds more powder, and the case shape/design has many more advantages, like less case growth, which means virtually no trimming. If you're interested, let me know, and I can tell you more about it. [/QUOTE]
