Thanks, J. The Savage rifles are shooters for sure. I had one years ago. Had the original barrel re-chambered for 223 Ackley with a tighter neck. Would shoot under 1/2" at 100 yards all day with just about any load I fed it.

Kind of looking for something a little "cooler".

If I do a bolt action I might stick it in an XLR chassis or something. And I would want a heavy barrel for sure.
