[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1889371, member: 113501"] I guess you should send it to Sharp Shooter Supply and pay $225 for a time and true job with barrel install/headspacing. You might as well go for a $500+ barrel since you don't want to worry about a barrel and upgrade the trigger so that factor is out of the question. Then add professionally done bedding. You reload, right? Maybe you need an autotrickler to make sure your powder charges aren't limiting your accuracy. Or you could not do any of that. For me a Savage is a budget rifle and before I go too far I ask myself *** am I doing? I do have expensive rifles that I try to build without compromise. I've gone with ARC actions because their combination of features and quality is top notch while their prices are pretty competitive and they are Remington 700 footprint so you get a much wider variety of good triggers to choose from and many choices of stock or chassis to install it in. That turns out really nice and with a prefit barrel, I DIY them too. The downside of expensive guns is that I have spent more on an action than a complete Savage build with an X-Caliber barrel, MDT chassis, folding stock, fluted bolt sleeve, extended bolt handle and a shimmed and spring swapped Accutrigger.
