[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1368898, member: 21446"] Korhil78, you've got the right mindset. I've got my expensive full custom builds and my semi customs as well. I have a few savages. One 6.5x47 has a bartlien barrel on it and consistently shoots in the ones and 2s with a $200 choate stock and I'm pretty sure the action was never blueprinted. If done properly your rifle will shoot as well a custom but at a 1/3rd of the price, and if it came with an accu trigger you just saved another $200. Not a big deal on a build in this price range but some weaknesses with the savage like most factory rifles will be heavy bolt lift which is more apparent the lighter your rifle is. Flimsy factory stock( you might be able to stiffen it up yourself), and some savages cycle smoother than others but feed reliably either way. And your pretty much set up for a switch barrel rifle if you desired which only puts you out $300-500 for another barrel but gives you 2 rifles basically. [/QUOTE]
