[QUOTE="blipelt, post: 255275, member: 11310"] trued= square the action to the barrel bedded= make the action fit the stock so it will not move. for $1200 you have limited options. If it was me and that is all I am going to spend I would buy a savage of your liking with a twist that will be fast enough to send a larger projectile down range. Find a good stock B&C or something, have the rifle head spaced and bed the action and barrel to the new stock and you have a semicustom within your price range. I did this with my first build and it cost around $1000. Savage actions don't have to be trued, the factory barrel it isn't bad and the accutrigger will do. The only thing is the stock are a little cheesy. I put a Bell and Carlson medalist on and had my smith skim bed the stock, lap the barrel and head space. It was a 12fvss 22-250 and it was deadly accurate. Or double your budget and build a full custom with the components mentioned. It isn't cheap to get into but it is worth it!!! [/QUOTE]
