[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 847680, member: 61747"] I have no clue why people bash on Savage. The stock is junk yet my rifles have all shot lights out without any gunsmithing? Go figure. You seem to be following the same path as the naysayers. Maybe I am just not bitter about the brand because I have had nothing but good luck. I also bought this rifle to shoot 1000 and beyond and have 100's of rounds at the longer ranges with superb results. I am also not sure what the issue is with a free floating synthetic stock with an aluminim block and rail. Seems that is the way many aftermarket manufactures go. Perhaps an internet search outside of this forum would be helpful. Not all rifles have to cost 5g to 12g to shoot and be dependable. Now, I really want a custom rifle that is amazing to look at. However, I don't know if I will get beyond .25moa accuracy with it. I will say I don't consider my savage to be sleek and sexy but my targets are just as dead as anyone elses. Remington, Tikka, and Weatherby all have good reputations. Perhaps you can search for a deal on a Remington BDL. I don't know what they cost but it seems like Remington is still the top of the chain for performance based rifles. Even an ADL and then replace the stock with a Hogue or something would be good. I think you can find a good stock on this forum for a remington without too much effort or $. [/QUOTE]
