[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1368853, member: 1656"] Define "turd". I have a 243AI build on a Savage with a Shilen prefit barrel heavy sporter contour and Rifle Basix trigger. It shoots well enough to draw positive comments from national class shooters at a 1000yd match. In fact I have yet to build a Savage with a quality prefit barrel that doesn't shoot 1/3 MOA with properly tuned loads. What is turd about that? It's all personal opinion, but turd to me is an inaccurate or inconsistent rifle, or one that does not function properly. I have many Savages and I only have one action that I have had issues with. Yes, my 338 Edge built on a Stiller Predator with a Remage prefit is superior. But it also cost 3X as much to build, even without a smith involved in either build. And...if you're going to build from factory...the new Remingtons aren't like the old ones. Now to the OP. Does Proof Research sell their barrels as Savage prefits? If they don't and a smith is involved, you may want to consider a custom action as you're going to be at another price point already. [/QUOTE]
