[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 251889, member: 10"] Rusty, So just to be clear, he handed you well over $2000 for his rifle? The new Savage target/comp rifles in 6.5-284 and 6mm Norma BR are listed at around $1100 retail price. Add a VX-III and a set of good rings and a rail base and you would be right at $2000 for the complete rifle. Would this be a 1000 yard 1/2 moa rifle, possibly but just as likely it would not. Just want to make the point that there were extra costs involved in the rifle you are posting about so that some new shooter out there does not read your post and spends the only $2000 he has and is left with a pile of parts sitting there but no assembled rifle. That is my only point, not questioning your componants, your ability to make a rifle, only that its not practical to expect a custom rifle for under $2000 even using the parts you list. I to have used alot of Savage receivers and will be honest, for a factory receiver, I really like them, right there with a Rem 700 to be honest. The bedding is a bit less then ideal and I always get rid of the barrel lock nut and fit the barrel just like a Rem 700 but they certainly do shoot well. Best three shot group at 500 yards I have personally fired was with one of my 270 AMs based on a Savage M111 which I converted to single shot. The group was roughly 0.550" ctc at 500 yards!!! They certainly do shoot and offer a good option for a lower priced project but still do not see where its realistic to say you can get one including scope for less then $2000. If scope was not included, I would be right there with ya. Good Shooting [/QUOTE]
