gun)Ive read good things about savage rifles. Im actually leaning more toward the 10fp 308 now that ive been researching since about 10 oclock. Apparently, it will shoot .5 moa out of the box. But the same issue prevails with the flimsy stock. Plus it has the accu-trigger....which ive been a fan of since i owned a springfield xd. Im so add when it comes to this stuff....BLAHHHHH. gun)
Need help choosing a combo

The new Savage accustock has an aluminum rail in it that stiffens it up so you don't get the flimsy feeling.
I have a TC encore that has the plastic forend that moves all over the place and I poured some Devcon bedding compound in the bottom and it stopped the side to side movement. I was thinking of doing the same thing with the Savage stock but I ordered a Tactical stock from Kevin at Stockade gun stocks.

Savage makes a good rifle. I recently shot a friend's 308. I'm not sure of the model, but it had a varmint contour barrel and what appeared to be an HS Precision stock. It shot .5 to .75moa with 150grain FMJ (read: junk factory ammo).
Remington SPS or Savage, either way, both are good platforms to start with.

A 56mm objective is a mighty big bell. I would worry about getting a good cheek weld on a sporting rifle.
Now if you have an adjustable cheek piece on your new stock you could make it work easily,...

Rob:
If you think the Defensive Edge cheekpiece may or may not work, call them directly. Shawn Carlock (who is a member of this board) will be able to tell you for sure whether it will work for you or not.
In the alternative, there's another company that makes a similar piece. The company is Karsten:

Rob,
I have a Leapers and my Brother has one on his 300 win mag Sendoro. It is a very good scope for the money. My brother has been saving for a Nightforce and had the Leapers for a few years.
We shoot a lot of long range rocks out to 1100 yards and the Leapers seems to dial up and down pretty well. The model is the 8-32x56 accushot with mildots. Pretty clear and for the money I don't think you can beat it.
I had one on my 6br before I bought the Nightforce and it killed a lot of rodents with no issues. I moved mine to my 300 win mag and managed to shear off two sets of Leupold rings and once I put a set of Warne rings on it the zero never shifted.
I don't think you can go wrong with one.
