[QUOTE="crowsnest2002, post: 402206, member: 20192"] So I know I'm relatively new here, but I enjoy longrange shooting and the art within. I am by no means an expert, and I do by no means have an un ending supply of money for my hobby. So let me tell you my experiment to be. First I researched switch barrel firearms and was led to the savage door. What a versatile rifle isnt it? Well there is a problem. I dont like savage actions. I am a remington man by heart and as so I dont have a very expansive gun cabinet. I do have a piece together LTR. I say piece together because it started as a standard SPS. Later I added the .308 fluted 20'' barrel and then and HS precision stock. So it is my piece together. See picture below. [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2whpegk.jpg[/IMG] Sorry about the quality. Anyway I wanted the versatility of the Savage rifle but with the remington action and with research galore here is what I find.
