[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 380538, member: 12863"] Let us see now. Yobuck: If what you are referring to is actually a handgun now $695 with a Burris or name brand scope is quite reasonable. I haven't looked lately but I am thinking the Burris 3-12 handgun scope is over $500.00 New. $450. for the stock 7X08 striker is a good price and $550. seems to be the going rate from what I have seen. Every important piece on a Savage is interchangable simply by dis-assembling and replacing parts. To go from 7X08 to &WSM requires a bolthead and firing pin assembly change. I am a singleshooter so you will have to talk to the rifle guys on which way to change the feed magazine. Trace: I have a hardened 24" 300WSM barrel on its way back to me as we speak. $100. for the barrel treatment or $140. for the barreled action. I have a smoking 6.5 something or other headed that way now and a 300 something or other, both 19" barrels. Trace, 3 days after leaving Kodiak Alaska it was being dipped. Four days later it was on its way back to the smith. % days of sitting at Fedex because they could not bill out the faded label. 4 more days and it is in my hand. All of this including weekends. Down side? 500 hours in a saltwater spray and they gave up, calling it good with no sign of corrosion. In three years and a hundred barrels not one lost accuracy and many improved accuracy. A number are competitive shooters and haven't shot a barrel out yet. I am holding judgement on acuracy based on not enough shooting and not enough barrels tested. Two BIG down sides! There are newby's and semi-copy cats not doing the same quality work as where I sent my stuff. He has been at it forty years! The other. If you forget something or change your mind after the process? What do you think your smith buddy is going to charge you to grind the stuff off so that he has access to unhardened steel. Better yet you just drop your shooter off without telling him the surface is 70R. Not sure that this qualifies as a downer but that bore after shooting today is the funkiest color I have ever seen. Mr Dodd sir: Think of my dilemma.

Sure is a good thing I am not in a business making guns! As always I am here to share experences so we can all enjoy something new or different. I am not going to recommend this yet because if it does not have the accuracy I require then for me it is not worth $5. bucks. Neal [/QUOTE]
