Long time lurker, finally made an account on here
So just bought one of these, already have it to my smith for threading/comp. Putting a Ross brake on it.
So right now I'm wondering what I should really do with it first, stock is comfortable for now...already have an idea of what I want to switch it to when I decide to change it , accu-trigger is comfortable to me so those don't need addressed. Barrel sure is stock savage but 26" 1:8
Plan is to get a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 basically as a starter scope for it, I'd call it limited funds basically because with this rifle I'm switching from normally shooting 308 to the 260. So bullets/cases/ect I bought up, I'll be running mostly 123gr scenars/lapua brass/ and Varget or H4831SC, I've heard good things about H4350 but can't find any locally or online at a reasonable price.
Basically what I'm asking is what do you guys think would be some high "value" for the cost upgrade. The little things that help make a big difference with this rifle, I'm basically looking forward getting into solid 500-1250yd distance territory. I've heard there are a few bolt upgrades that really work for the 12 action? Anyways, all help appreciated and if you shoot at Rayner's in ohio you might see me around.
