[QUOTE="7stw, post: 372750, member: 22854"] I originally started this thread this winter during my lay-off period from my job. When I recently returned to work, we were informed that the up coming year does not look as promising as we would like. That being said, most of my Custom gun dreams had to go on the proverbial back burner. But I needed something to shoot, other than my big guns, or the ones that I have for "just" hunting. So I am in the process of buying a Savage model #12 VLP DM. It has a laminated stock and is in .308 and wears a stainless barrel. Then I got to thinking about some things that I learned about on this website. That is , that I can effectively have a switch barrel gun, as long as the bolt face is the same. Then I heard of a place that has pre=threaded and chambered barrels for Savage rifles that seemed reasonbly priced in 6.5-284. Bottom line is that I now have something to shoot, and something that WILL shoot better. I have always been a remmie man, so to me this is HUGE! I had a remy action lined up for the build, but it ended up being in very poor condition when I looked at it closer. I may not go with the Pre-made barrel, but at least it is an option. Can you buy factory barrels from Savage? I'm starting to see the light with Savage. And this is going to be a less expensive build, but will be every bit as good as my first concept, and some of yours as well. Any thoughts or suggestions on this NEW platform?
