Re: 300 win mag
I'd to a Rem. 700 Police of 5R in the 1k range. They both sport decent factory accuracy, and if you don't like the HS stock, you can sell it. They usually go for around $250 - then you can put the remaining $1250 into another stock, scope base, rings, etc...
Just my opinion, but there are a lot more add-ons for the Remington 700 than there are for Savages. If you want to do more later-on down the road, you'll have somewhere to go with the Remmy.
