[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1594307, member: 105322"] Savage has lost it's place as a solid budget build. The quality has gone way down, the same as all the other major manufacturers. 5 or 7 years ago I would have agreed with you, but not these days. I was leaning toward the custom Remington footprint actions, but there is a consideration there too. Does the action take the standard Remington firing pin assembly? I have a friend who had one of the hot new custom actions. He broke a firing pin while practicing, two weeks out from a couple of back to back matches he was going to shoot. He was unable to get a new firing pin in time and had to borrow another rifle. If it had not just been a Remington footprint on the outside, but able to use Remington bolt parts in a pinch, he could have just carried on. I've come full circle. I have three blueprinted Remington guns, and was about to chase the newer and better. I've changed my mind. Stock Remington is still crap, but it cleans up nicely. [/QUOTE]
