[QUOTE="lerch, post: 107857, member: 3115"] [b]Re: Poor man\'s long range gun[/b] You might wanna take a look at the new accutrigger guns, hell of a improvement over the old savage brick trigger!! THe bolt on the savage does feel a little cheap on some guns, the seem to catch a bump on the middle of the magazine. The weatherby's are a lot more expensive and though the are a HOSS in the power department they do have the free bore issue many people have a problem with. I sighted in 15 for a buddy of mine and had mixed reviews on them. Some would group 1/2" and some would group 2". SOme had nice triggers and some had so much creep you could measure it with a yardstick, though I am sure they are adjustable. Every savage I have played with that had a accutrigger would adjust down to 1.5lbs with a crisp pull and some would go a lot lower. The accutrigger does also add a great extra safety measure. They would all also group very nicely. If you want a good cheap rifle to start the long range game go with the savage. If you want a great action to build a custom rig off of go with the remington. If you want a true hog in the power department go with the weatherby. If you decide to go the custom route and you want something simple you might look at the 338-300RUM, case capacity is a little bigger than the lapua and brass is simple to form. Check into Kirby Allen or Shawn Carlock for smiths, they do great work steve [/QUOTE]
