[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2201514, member: 115819"] If you're not dedicated to the 300 then the 7mm rem mag has more access to components, at least in my area and based on what I see in online shelves. Not a ton of options, but more I think. You'd still be on your own for explosive components but it sure seems like I see a lot more dies, brass and projectiles for the 7 remington right now. Much of it is used but that can be a positive thing. I just got done filtering through a few sites that have a small but real selection of bullets, especially 150 grains and up. Changing to a 7 with its lower recoil in a sporter barrel would lessen the pain of target shooting a little also, and make that stock less of a burden in terms of accuracy. On top of that there are always 7 mag takeoff barrels around if you just want to try it for giggles. If you felt real crazy you could go to a 7 wsm. I've seen actual AMMO for that occasionally. Might not feed without work but it'd go bang. Heck there's 25 caliber bullets around, want a 257 weatherby? I can still buy 26 and occasionally 28 Nosler ammo around here, you could try that. You'd still want to plan on changing the stock as soon as you can, the stock is a weak link in fit, recoil, and accuracy for the higher recoiling savages. Even a creedmoor will move around in the plastic stock. Unless its an accustock, but I really bet that it's not. I love my accustock but finding one for a long action is tough from what I see and it doesn't do anything for recoil in terms of mass or geometry. If you do want a 300 I can respect that, but there is less competition for 7mm supplies right now. Just a thought. Not finding bullets on top of everything else would just make me scream. Upgrading/upsizing the barrel on a savage is fun, I just did it myself. If you decide to do that in any caliber there are some great threads on here discussing brands of prefits. Lots of great ones out there. My new one is from Crown Ridge. They only stock a few profiles but Anthony is super helpful and you'll get a barrel in 6-12 days, not weeks.
