    Question about Gun Prices

    Re: Question about Gun Prices It's hard to sell a gun based on what you have in it. Especially if it's a scratch build. If you have "a bolt gun with all of the bells and whistles attached" you're much more likely to get better money out of your investment if those bells and whistles are...

    Savage/Stevens 200

    Re: Savage/Stevens 200 Looks like you've got some pretty sound advice so far. I'm heading down the same road you are. I think .308 would be a good caliber if you ever plan to turn your "beginner" rifle into a competition piece. If your only plan is to make a good beginners/practice stick...

    .223 as a starter rifle?

    Re: .223 as a starter rifle? .223 is definitely a great round to start with. Easy to find it, and it's easy to find people who know a ton about reloading it. Inexpensive as precision shooting goes. It's the way i'm heading myself!

    New here. Bolt action build.

    Re: New here. Bolt action build. It definitely looks like a majority for the 700. That's initially where I was heading, but I hear the term "any gunsmith will work on them". That's awesome, but I don't really want that. I want to work on it myself. No gunsmith involved. I'm still...

    Re: New here. Bolt action build. Greg, The only difference between a current Stevens 200 and and a current Savage 10FP action is the trigger and bolt handle So, if I'm planning to eventually upgrade everything but the main receiver parts I'd end up with the same rifle as if I'd started...
