[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2803224, member: 104268"] For the absolute most "bang for the buck", I think [USER=113619]@Sockeye66[/USER] is right about the 280AI. Did a brief search for Tikka bolt heads, and it doesn't seem like that's an easy/cheap thing to source. Of course a smith could open it up, and/or source one probably, but no idea on cost. I'd look at X-caliber for a barrel. Sign up for an account, and you'll get an email heads up around every major holiday for 15%-25% off sales. You can get a good barrel to your door for around $450 dollars. I've got a couple Savage prefits (264 Win, 7 Rem Mag), and they shoot good, stay clean, and have good fit/finish. That said, if you pay $450 for a barrel, another $125 for mag and bolt stop, you're only $300-$400 below a new rifle in the caliber of your choice. You could almost certainly sell the 7-08 for more than that if it's in good condition... [/QUOTE]
