[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 414413, member: 19372"] I'd re-barrel the Remington in a heartbeat - it's a complete no-brainer. For the price of an out of the box Savage you get a semi custom rifle with a world class barrel. Savage makes some nice rifles, but they aren't "that" nice. I've looked in the bore and chambers of a lot of Savages, I'm a fan of Savages, I own several, but I've never seen even one Savage factory barrel that should be mentioned in the same breath with the top quality custom barrels. Yes, there is "that" much difference. If you want a rifle to shoot, start with the barrel. Very few factory rifles, and no Savage factory rifles, come with barrels that even begin to compete with the hand lapped custom barrels. The second part of having a rifle shoot is going to a Smith that knows how to get the most out of that barrel on your action. A top quality Smith will charge almost as much as the barrel costs and be worth every penny of it. Fitch [/QUOTE]
