[QUOTE="liltank, post: 533987, member: 13275"] I own the exact rifle you are looking at in the Savage. It is a very accurate rifle in that caliber. Set up properly it is easily a 1000yd rifle for Whitetail and 800-900 for elk with proper hand loads. My cousin currently is using my VLP stock with a factory Savage barrel in 300WSM. Mine started out as a .308, then reamed to a 300WSM. I have two kills at 605 and 648 on groundhogs with that caliber. The barrel my cousin is using is one that started as a .308 he owned. He gave it to me and I reamed that one to 300WSM also. When I went back to .308, we screwed his barrel back on his Savage action in my basement and he is shooting it now. He just scored his first long range hit at 839yds on a groundhog the other day. I highly suggest the rifle you are looking at. If you choose to have the VLP stock bedded, you only bed the action to the recoil lug. Savages like to have the rear tang floating a little. The HS stock would be a nice upgrade, but isn't necessary. If you want a light weight stock that will be strong and durable, look into Stockade stocks, or Manners. Tank [/QUOTE]
