[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1063867, member: 80699"] Jud, Thanks for the reply. I thought about the Savage route. In fact, there was one for sale in the classifieds that had a B&C A2 stock and Criterion barrel on it already. The price was very reasonable, and I thought long and hard on it. In the end, I decided to pass, but it was tempting. I think your advice on #4 is probably sound. If I need to get out of it, I think moving a Rem 700 action is probably the easiest. That option also allows me to choose the color of stock I want, as opposed to option 3. That's a really silly thing, but in this case, I am really trying (within my financial constraints) to get as close to exactly what I want as possible. I don't want to look back and say...'yeah but'... That's the reason I don't like #1. It would be by far the fastest and easiest....I could be up and running by the end of the month. But how will it shoot? If it just pulls .99, it fulfills their guarantee, but I won't be satisfied with that. And then I'll lose money doing a rebarrel etc. But one issue with having 'work' done, I am not sure who to use in my general area as a good gunsmith. I know one local guy, and he did a little work for me, that somewhat worked out but not completely. I am in Austin, TX, but anywhere from Dallas, to Houston to SA....I want someone that will stand behind their work, no hassels, no excuses, if that makes sense. So trepidation all around, but it does seem #4 makes the most sense. Thanks for your advice! [/QUOTE]
