[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 908117, member: 30532"] Dead wrong about them having custom barrel probably, about hand picking the best they can find doubt it. I have one of their better line rifles a long range precision now in 6.5 creed. Had 2 model 12 lrpv's and 3 model 12 vlp's. Model 10 308 from their police line. All hand chiseled copper fouling monsters. They all shot decent after fouling the clean bore till they filled with copper.all had nasty loose rough bolts. If the op or anyone else for that matter is truing the action what does it matter how straight they are from the factory.I've seen chisel barrels from both makes. If I had a choice between stock savage or trued action custom barreled Remington that's a pretty easy pick. If he wanted a custom barreled gun on budget then the savage wins if he doesn't mind bolt fit and feel.if he wanted a custom barreled gun that felt like a custom gun he'd have to ditch the savage and go back to rem, custom or some other make of action. Maybe their FT/R or other guns from their target line are great I've never shot one or been interested in a 30" barreled gun. I'm not knocking savage some people shoot them well. They've always felt wrong for me, sloppy stiff bolt, accutrigger doesn't jive with my finger. All of them I've owned have copper fouled terrible and clean cold bore is way off poa from fouled bore. Every custom or trued re-barreled 700 does not. I wish they worked for me it would save a bunch of money in action trueing/re-barreling expense. [/QUOTE]
