[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 1264677, member: 26163"] Screwing a prefit barrel on a savage to have a reasonably accurate, easy to clean barrel, that has the potential to be a great shooter that extracts well, and doesnt have to be timed MYSELF, is a lot cheaper than pouring tons of money into a remington action. Thank you for calling bull. Im calling reading comprehension fail. Key words there were "barrel my own". If im having a smith build me yet another full blown ground up custom rifle, i believe a custom action is the way to go. If im barreling it myself the savage is fine, my 243 works perfectly well for a walking coyote gun. But my trued rem 700 338 edge isnt nearly as nice as the latest i had Kevin build on a defiance. And yep savages do feel a little clunky, but for the cost diference between rebarreling a savage myself, and having a smith true and a barrel installation on a rem 700 is rather large. Cost is the qualifyer here. If i was trying to save money, going with a rem700 wouldnt be the way i would try to save. This crowd.... [/QUOTE]
