[QUOTE="Pons, post: 550704, member: 32348"] From the range of rifles you mentioned (R Bros, TRG, Rem, Savage) it does not sound like money is the driving factor. (trying to get into long range shooting with something that won't break the bank? - How big is the bank? -rhetorical question) I am a big savage fan (for all the reasons already mentioned), but I do not love most of their stocks. I will not argue with Savage target rifle's performance (or many of their other models). It is fantastic. (note - Savage stocks can be upgraded) I've shot some very nice modified Remingtons and some good shooting stock ones as well. Rems have lots of upgrades available (easy to change stocks, install jewell trigger), but if you want to upgrade past that, costs 200 - 300 or so to get the action trued, you need your barrels chambered and fitted.. You could go straight to R Bros and get a blueprinted one. Between Rem and Savage, I prefer Savage. Question, how much work / tinkering do you want to do? If you like working on guns, then starting with Savages or Remingtons can be lots of fun. If you find a gun that you really like the stock and components on, well that is great as well! If you want a target rig, Savage makes great ones (stock - no modifications needed). If you are looking for something else.. If you can go straight to the gun you want right away (and you have some custom rigs in mind), something like R Bros, or Len's Rifles [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/rifles/index.php]Custom, Precision Long Range Hunting Rifles Ready To Ship[/url] could be a great way to go out of the gate. Besides, you could have a very strong, well built custom action to boot! Going any direction with this could be a lot of fun. Good luck, have fun shopping. [/QUOTE]
