[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 260152, member: 6705"] Sounds like a good plan. I'm also a Savage guy. I have two Savage actions. Both long actions. One with a standard bolt head and one with a magnum. Here's my list of barrels. 220 Swift 22-250 (2)22-250AI 22-243AI 243win 270win 284win 7RM 7wsm 30-06 308 300win 300wsm 338 barrel that isn't chambered yet. It only takes a few minutes to swap the barrels, and I've had fantastic luck with Savage accuracy. The two calibers you are thinking about are great rounds and should easily do what you are asking. If you want to go the cheapest route I'd suggest a Stevens 200. I've seen them locally for about $250. As for upgrading it. A SSS trigger is $85. Shilen, McGowen, Douglas pre-fit barrels run $270-$310. B&C and Stockade stocks are very popular for Savage/Stevens. [/QUOTE]
