[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1260407, member: 4566"] Why spend big money on what is just a factory rig like the Savage LR or Remmy LR? Buy a cheap LA Savage. There are a lot of 7RM and 300 WM lightweight Savages on the used market. IDK why a 6lb mag w no brake is always at a pawnshop....but they are. Remove action and throw the rest into the parts bin. Add recoil lug, stock, barrel and trigger of your choice. I reuse the nut and just home true it. Still cost less than the 2 factory options, with a real barrel and stock. Most of my Savages come in under $1000 with bases and rings, but I usually run Boyds or Choates. Also you might look into a Remage. Criterion and Mcgowen are carrying barrels and nuts for that setup now and stocks are a LOT more plentiful for the Remmy. You could even run a Remage setup on a REAL action like a Stiller or other R700 clone. That is the ONLY way you can RELIABLY get under .5 MOA under $1k or $2k for that matter. I have built Savages with Douglas, Critierion, Mcgowen, Hart, Lilja, Kreiger and even EAB and they have all ended up under .5 MOA. [/QUOTE]
