[QUOTE="moses42ak, post: 2169920, member: 20535"] If you can find the RPR or Savage on sale or a used one that people aren’t being ridiculous about, you would be “near” $1,500. I run a 338 Norma and my buddy runs the Savage Lapua. No doubt, the Savage is a shooter. Keep an eye out for a realistically priced used rig or an action. If you can pick up an action, you’re in business. When you can order a barrel (Brux might be shipping, Rock Creek isn’t taking orders, I think Bartlein is back ordered etc) you should be between $300 and $500 for that. Keep the twist in the 1:9-1:9.4 range. That’ll have to be reamed, threaded and bedded so say ~$500-ish unless it’s a pre-fit in which case you can do it at home. The chassis is your personal preference but look at KRG, MDT and yes, Boyd’s among others. Remington and Savage are the 2 most popular footprints with Tikka coming on strong in the chassis/stock world. You can spend a bunch of money on a chassis so be careful. Moses [/QUOTE]
