[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1005344, member: 48559"] To start, buy the rifle with the longest barrel available, unless you plan to replace it right away. The Creedmoor likes a long pipe. I have a 25.5 inch varmint weight from ER Shaw, fluted and a JP brake on a ruger action. Shoots great, ran about 10 inches (5 shot group) at 1175 yards. Boyds stocks are not lightweights, but they are solid and lower cost. They do take some fitting, but that is part of pillar bedding anyway. For my Savages, I toss the factory trigger in favor of RifleBasix SAV2, it is excellent and fully adjustable to your preference. If you intend shooting long range, put a 20moa rail on, so you are working near the optical/mechanical center of your scope out where little things count the most. [/QUOTE]
