[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 939256, member: 63138"] etisll40 I would not trade out my Accutriggers for any other. They are basically perfect. You never know when the gun is going to go off and it takes very little to make it do so. As to bolt heads. You can buy whatever parts you want direct from Savage (you have to send them a letter saying you will not hold them liable if you blow yourself up). You can then mix and match bolt heads and barrels all you want. (You need a barrel nut wrench, barrel vice, go and no-go gages and some level of mechanical competence.) I can turn my 260 Rem into a 270 WSM in about 15 minutes including bolt head swap out. Savage also sells just a target action but that is a single shot (though it would be the stiffest Savage action you can buy). I think it is a better deal to get the LRP as you get a nice HS Precision stock with aluminum bedding block, DBM and heavy target barrel in 6.5 Creedmore. I don't see much difference in the rest of the actions Savage is selling today. You have 3 choices - long action, short action, target action. The parts are interchangeable amongst the same length actions so they are basically the same. [/QUOTE]
