[QUOTE="longrangehunter, post: 1812, member: 386"] OK, Wyojeeper and Darryl, you guys make good points, but for a custom barreled .308 or 300 win mag do you actually choose a Savage over a Rem 700? I know the barrel drops right on the Savage. We are talking about expensive high quality barrels for long range shooting, right? Would you spend say $400 for a finished barrel and not have the action squared, lugs lapped, etc.? I just wouldn't spend this much on a Savage when I think the Remington is higher quality. I look at the Savage as something I buy and then replace once it's shot out. I may replace the barrel with a decent cheapie, but I'm not going to spend a lot of bucks on it. Jordon, Check gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com, and gunsamerica.com if you can't find anything local. If you go used try to find something that's been cleaned properly (with a guide) and hasn't been shot much. Good luck. LRH [ 04-12-2002: Message edited by: longrangehunter ] [/QUOTE]
