RE: New Savage in the 6.5 x 284 for 2007
If a person can get one for 1000dollars and its capable of printing 4" groups at 500 yards, its well worth the money. I have been down the road of buying senderosand 700PSS's, and taking to the range, shooting, not happy, going to the gun smith, rebedding, shooting again, sorta happy, ending up changing out the barrel, finally happy. Sure getting it the way I want it can be fun but very frustating. sometimes it would be nice to have instant bliss from a box.
I shoot a FN SPR A1 308 on ocassion. And let me tell ya the 1300 dollar price tag is worth it. Fine gun, fine quality, fine accuracy. Sure, you might be able to get one built to do the same, but I would rather have the resale value. Everytime, I try to sale a custom built gun, I loose over 50% and most of the time, I have to show someone personally that it shoots to make up 65%.
