[QUOTE="ranger160, post: 9626, member: 2138"] Wayne, Found out doing a rifle for a friend on a Savage action that there is some versitility with that action. You can use the barrel nut again, which makes headspacing the rifle nifty or you can headspace the barrel like a Remington action. Really though it is a matter of preference I believe in which action you use. I personally am not a fan of the Savage, I think it is not astecially pleasing enough. But with the design of the savage action you can just switch out the head of the bolt and not have to worry, or pay for the cutting of the bolt face. I still think, in my opinion the remington action makes a better custom rifle, but here again that is opinion. I am finishing up a 6.5-06 Ack Imp on a Savage action, for one of my friends right now and he put it in a boyds laminated stock, which is nice and probably a little cheaper then a good synthetic, but both will do the job providing the bedding is right.
