[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 707583, member: 25383"] Basicly your showing $2K without sights. The rifle even then probably won't shoot any better than some of the better long range newer rifles. To seriously get that 700 to shoot lights out, I think your talking $2200 (including the action). 1. barrel blank will be about $350 (machining the chamber and headspacing is another $150) 2. a cheap custom trigger is about a $100, and many guys will want a Jewell at close to $275 3. trueing the action and recutting the threads in going to hit you for about a $150 if your lucky 4. a good stock will cost you about $250 minimum, and then you have to bed it, so expect to see about $325 to $400 finished. 5. A lot of guys want to do some bolt work as well as truing. I did an M16 extractor and modified the ejector pin setup. That's gonna be another $100 6. then there are incidentals like a brake and checkering if you want to go all out. All the above is nice and more could be added. But here another take: * a Savage out of the box is very square, and really needs nothing done to it * you can buy a prefit custom barrel of whatever quality you want for less than $400. Pacnor sells them in many wildcat chambers if that's what you want for around $350 last time I looked. But you may not even want a custom barrel! * the Savage accutrigger is the best factory trigger made * Stocking will come out at about the same. I would get rid of the factory synthetic stock unless it was the HS stock. And even then rebed it with new pillars. * no bolt work is needed Some Savages come with brakes and some don't. That's the end user's call here In otherwords your looking at $800 verses $1350 minimum. I have no idea how strait the Tikkas are, but they must be very good. Just not a lot of stuff to change on them out of the box. gary [/QUOTE]
