LONG story... I bought 3 rifles for 1,000 school (I swore years ago I would never buy another Remington 700, but I did, I hated it AGAIN, but they are easy to sell). I also bought the Steyr Pro Hunter (a real hunter, it ROCKS) and the Savage. The Steyr is by far the best of the group out of the box, but the Savage did the best at school. I was hitting at 1,100 yards. Rail cost over $100. Muzzle brake (Which is sound suppressor ready) was like $150. Custom leather cheek piece is on as well. + gunsmith work. I REALLY want is a CZ 550 tacticool or Kevlar in .308 with a heavy barrel. More than willing to trade. I have a competition next month, but after that, the Savage is available. I think I have fired 150 rounds through it. I will shoot another 150 between now and the end of the competition. I seasoned the barrel. FFL TRANSFERS ONLY.
