[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1257446, member: 4566"] As a guy who has built uhhhh a bunch of Savages, why spend the money on a new gun? I buy the biggest piece of junk I can find for a build. You are going to thro EVERYTHING but the action away anyway. I have 1 I bought that was run over by a truck and the barrel was bent due to being in a rut in hard ground. Best action I have and I gave $100 for it. Go to a pawnshop and buy the ugliest cheapest thing you can find and THEN build it. My last one I paid $275 for a 7mm RM. Prospective builds need budgets. The only real variable in the budget is the stock. A Bedded Boyds will shoot as well as anything and run you $125. An XLR will be a tad more. Like $600 more. Action $250 Stock $125-$800 Recoil lug $30 Trigger Use Savage $0 to the Sav 2 at $160 Barrel $300-$500 Brake $0-150 Since all you will use off of the 10 FCP is the action, it makes no sense to pay more than $250-300.
