[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1184255, member: 77514"] Yes, the Savages usually shoot well out of the box. My priorities based on your list would be: 1. Good scope, base and rings. Get quality but don't base that on price alone. You can get some good quality optics in the classified section on this site. 2. New trigger. Either the Rifle Basix Sav 2 (Available here [url]http://northlandshooterssupply.com/rifle-basix-triggers-2/)or[/url] the SSS Competition trigger (Available here [url=http://sharpshootersupply.com]Sharp Shooter Supply - The Savage Specialists[/url] ). I have the SSS and really like it. Either is a drop-in install. 3. Pillar bed the stock. You can get good instructions here ([url=http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html]Stress-Free Pillar Bedding[/url]). You can purchase the pillars or use what lots of others use - threaded lamp rod. Either one will have to be cut/ground to length. 4. This is not on your list, but should be considered as you get experience - Install a new barrel. You can go custom or a factory prefit. I just installed a Criterion Stainless bull barrel in 6.5x47 Lapua. Early indications are that it will be a shooter. (Available here [url=http://northlandshooterssupply.com/]Northland Shooters Supply[/url]) Not on your list - Work on [U]Precision Reloading.[/U] You can get lots of good information/help on this site and on Shootersforum.com. There are lots of other good sites as well, but I have found lots of good guidance on these two. This last recommendation can be inserted anywhere in the above list - Get some good professional help. There are lots of "long range shooting schools" around. Many ranges that offer long range also have instructors available. For "Practical Long Range" you might want to check out BangSteel.com. Their school has lots of good feedback and is very affordable. FWIW, Dennis [/QUOTE]
