Greetings all,
I have a few questions regarding, of course, a Savage rifle. Actually, I was quite inspired by the Desert Savage that a gentleman put together here. The Savages seem very desirable to me in that they seem much more modular than a Remington or other brands. Anyway, here are my questions:
1. Since I would be replacing the stock anyway, is it possible to get a barreled action from Savage or do I have to get the whole rifle?
2. From what I have gathered, the Sharp Shooters Supply stock, the Bell & Carson stock, and the McMillan stock are the popular favorites. Out of these 3, which would you take and why?
3. A local store by me has the police, non-accutrigger, 20" barrel .308 rifle for sale at $399.99 with Bushnell scope. Is this a decent deal? Would this be a good platform to build a rifle from?
4. If I go for the rifle mentioned in question # 3, which trigger would be recommended for target shooting?
By the way, I'm not into hunting so this would be for shooting out to 300 yards and of course the old SHTF scenario?
Thanks for your time,
Ken
