[QUOTE="reed mosser, post: 139628, member: 1589"] I mostly use and shoot all savage rifles. Savages get a bad rap because most people but on cheap barrels and cut cost on every corner. I am truing all my savage custom rifles to remington standards. I am recutting the threads facing the action, reboring the bolt way, truing the lugs, truing the bolt face and then adding a pacific tool and gauge spiral fluted bolt, a thousand's under what the bolt race is reamed to. Making a trued action. Sharp shooter supply makes a nice after market recoil lug. And the accu- triggers can be made very light with a little polishing. I use savages for all my comp guns and never feel under gunned. I also have a 40 x remington and in my world it is no better than a savage with a little work. Savage actions also can be made to be as slick as a remington . I think with savage putting out the new rblp acttions and target shooter oriented calibers that there bad rep with go away with every trophy won. In our local 500 yard ground hog shoots the savage heavy barrel 223 is the gun to beat. Sorry to ramble but I love savages and hate the undeserived bad rap they recieve. [/QUOTE]
