[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 938140, member: 63138"] I don't think you need to change the stock or trigger to shoot the distances you mentioned. Just put a stainless Kreiger with 5R rifling on it. I'd recommend 26 inches. Have your smith duracoat (or his favorite coating) the action in flat black and bed in your stock. If the stock is really beat up as you said and you want to change it then do so - but that will blow your budget. Generally the more you spend, the better they get. I have an Accurate Innovations in English black walnut that is really pretty. It has a hand rubbed oil finish but also has a full length aluminum bedding block so is quite functional. It also costs about the price of a new Savage. I have an HS Precision, again with the aluminum bedding block. See what your smith has that you can try for fit and feel before you buy. But better yet, just patch up the old stock. [/QUOTE]
