[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 659280, member: 10"] No problem at all with you using my first name. I also do not want to give the wrong impression, there is NOTHING wrong with modifying a factory rifle, I just get tired of hearing some say that its a waste of money to get a full custom rifle built, both opinions are extremes and do not apply to most of us shooters. If a factory rifle is built up properly you can get amazine performance out of them. The most limiting factor with factory receivers is what you can chamber them in. Most will be limited to the RUM class of chamberings, a very few will accept the Lapua sized chamberings and some of those that will are not good choices. it all comes down to what you want, what you need and more then anything how the new rifle will be used. For some a full custom is simply not needed. For others a full custom is a nessesity. We are all different but as long as we are all having fun doing what we love to do, its great to hear about everyones projects, not just tell others that our opinions are the only way to go. Your Savage project will I am sure be a hell of a shooter. My personal best three shot group at 500 yards came from my 270 Allen Magnum built on a heavily modded Savage M111. Cut a 0.450" ctc three shot group at 500 yards so the "CHEAP" Savage certainly will hold their own. If you had to choose a factory rifle, the Savage would likely be a very strong choice to go with. Keep us posted to your results!! Have fun. [/QUOTE]
