[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 240514, member: 4885"] I'd jump on Gunbroker and get a Savage in 300WSM for around $600 with the accutrigger. If you don't like the stock, then get a Russo, McMillan or Manners stock for another $500-600 and you'll have a very good rifle. When my Savage 300WSM was new, I swapped the recoil lug and barrel nut for good machined ones (from Savage Shooters Supply) and reset the headspace (easily done at home with the Savages, using less than $100 in tools). It shot sub 1/2" with just about every load I fed it. I then bought a Russo laminate stock for it and swapped the barrel for a 338Edge. I still have the original 300WSM barrel that I use occasionally for some cheap/accurate practice. AJ [/QUOTE]
