[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1785977, member: 72601"] If it was me, I'd probably buy a savage rifle and deck it out as you go. That what I did with my 6.5 build. This build has been an absolute hammer. Only issues I've had with it were self inflicted and nothing to do with my equipment. It was my first DIY build so I learned a few things the hard way. You could do a Remington but I cant with a clean conscience reccomend one without telling you it may or may not need work right out of the gate. If you do go with a Remington just be prepared that it may need work. Triggers are garbage. My Remington long range shoots really good, but I had to send it back before I even fired it due to a bur in the chamber. Alot of the new ones are having primary extraction issues. Mine is fine but it seems to be a common issue. Savages for the most part are probably going to need the least amount of work to get it shooting really well. My only complaint with the savages is the action feel cheesier and are uglier than a Remington but they function the way they're supposed to. [ATTACH=full]164595[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
