[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1909399, member: 106259"] One can buy a new Savage for less than buying a used one, and a barrel and a tool and a headspace gauge. I have a Savage Tactical FP with HS Precision stock and was wanting to convert it to 6.5 PRC. Pre-fit barrels are not inexpensive and the aggregate cost ends up more than a new rifle. I can get a Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 PRC for right at $600.00 and the Long Range Hunter in 280AI for $850.00. I site that model because it has a 26" barrel, I think a 22" barrel does no justice to a 280AI. Unless you find a used donor rifle for $250-$350 you'll spend more than you would for a new rifle. Notwithstanding the pleasure of building something yourself which can add immense value to the end product, I'm only siting from a monetary perspective. [/QUOTE]
