[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 415620, member: 14204"] cfvickers, Well said! I know what you mean and I can relate. :D I bought a used Savage 110 .270 at Scheel's for $ 199 (minus the scope). [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/P7100007.jpg[/IMG] I don't think it's the original stock and the previous owner had a go on trying to pretty it up. I bought the gun for the action as a possible donor for a DIY project and didn't care about the stock or bluing wear on the barrel. Cleaned her up, adjusted the trigger down to 2.5 lbs, topped it with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 (pre-sighted with a collimator). Got a box of .150gr Federal ammo (cheapest one I can find at Scheel's - on sale for $11). First shot at a 100 yards was on paper. After minor adjustments, I ended up a consistent 3/4 MOA groupings. I guess she's a keeper. I'll keep this ugly shooter as-is for now until the barrel is all shot out, perhaps she'll re-surface as a .264/6.5 wildcat (not sure which one at this time) ... have other rifles to hunt and shoot with, so I'm in no hurry. :rolleyes: BTW, I own Remingtons too! :cool: [/QUOTE]
