[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1273322, member: 74276"] I'm thinking about putting together an inexpensive 6x47 Lapua to use as a fun paper puncher and varmint gun. I can build a complete tuned and trued complete custom Savage for <$1000 that will most likely shoot <1/2 moa, at least based on my past experience. I can also do all the work myself (besides true and tune action). The downside is, I think Savages are ugly rifles. lol I know that's a terrible reason not to shoot/own a rifle. To build an equivalent rifle off the Rem 700, I'd be likely to spend the same or possibly more in parts. Then I'd have to pay a gunsmith to do all the work, because I don't have the equipment to thread, tune, true and chamber a barrel. So, I'm curious what y'all's thoughts on the Savage experience is verses the 700. Is the additional cost worth it or should I just stop looking at the gun and start shooting it instead? gun) [/QUOTE]
