I'm wanting a 300 win mag. Started off with Savage cutting me a heavy fluted barrel @ 26". Why would I do that I get asked. Honestly..Idk. I read how well they shoot so I think " why not". What am I going to gain having krieger, shilen, hart, etc. do the same thing if they all can shoot. I'm very new to this kind of doing since I always just purchased a gun off the shelf. I would of course get a stock & trigger & brake to go with. I like Sendero's but why pay that when I hear people putting more $ into them when I can have Savage make me something like a Model 112 & just add bullet. I do want something I can say I put together. Let the lead fly....sure I will get some interesting input. Don't shoot me for being new...literally..glad to join this site..see lots of knowledge & input on others questions..sry for being long winded aswell.
