[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2024170, member: 1951"] Savage triggers aren’t good and the replacements are just ok. It is just not a good action to put the custom work into. They are good for a cheaper custom or a guy who wants all his money in the optic. They do shoot. Savage 12 true & time; mdt chassis; Rock Creek 1:10 300 WSM.....Still, the trigger (Jard) is light, but not very crisp. I’m gonna sound like a broken record...I’d build of a bighorn or that Tikka. Bighorn, if I’m buying new or Tikka if I had it. I know you want light, but have you ever considered a #3 or a #4 in a carbon stock....pretty light, but good hunting accuracy. 22” in short action; 24” in long action;26” magnums. Tikka action....I assume you have?? trigger - $200 barrel and chambering -$650 stock - B&C $415 Seems like a nice rifle under $1300. [/QUOTE]
