[QUOTE="Hookturnr, post: 639130, member: 22612"] In the budget range you are looking at it shouldn't be an issue to find a used rem 700 and get it trued and rebarreled into any caliber you want. I'd lean to the .308 as well just for the plethora of components availiable. You could probably have your rifle up and running with a new top quality barrel and trued at right around $1200 staying with quality components and still have $300 to buy loading supplies. I know lots of folks like the savage guns around here but for resale value later on, the custom remington will hold it's value far better for when you decide it's time to change up your rig. Another thing to consider is you can find some great deals on some used gear around here as well. [/QUOTE]
