[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1236628, member: 97414"] Awesome write up on the rifle, I've been looking at reviews on 3 of the low price point rifles in the Frugal bracket. Savage Axis II, Remmy 783, and Ruger American all chambered in 30-06. Much of the info I found is good with many of these rifles, and it seems to be steering me more towards the Ruger line-up because of a few reason with my choosing. The Remington 783 stock sounds hollow, a few folks have tried to fix this with out much luck, and I have yet to find an after market trigger for this rifle,,, I'm sure there is something out there, but haven't found it yet. The reviews on the Ruger American and Savage Axis II both have similar write up's that are catching my interests. I've always been a Remington guy for many years, but the cost of BDL 700's is threw the roof up here in Canada, would like to do the 783, but the hollow back of the stock when bush Harvesting won't work for me, and always adding a quality after market trigger is a must for critter, large game, and target plingking paper and silhouette shooting. This will be the 3 time in my life too return to frugal quality rifles that I've had good success with over the years. If someone knows where a person can find a quality aftermarket trigger and how to delete the hollow sound of stock for bush harvest, then I would go this route,,, Foam filled stock thing is not working for the guys on the 783,,, a few folks have been camo taping them too deaden the sound of bush rubbing against the stock. Northern Canada critters have good hearing up here, so limiting any unnecessary sounds increases chances of a wiser harvest. Pal Don at forward planning the next rifle [/QUOTE]
