Default RE: Savage Rifle Owners

I'd look at the new rifles offered with Savage's new target single shot action. They make both the 12F/TR in 308 with a right bolt/right port and the 12 F Class in 6.5-284 Norma also with right bolt/right port. Savage is also offering the action alone with either a .223 or standard (.473) bolt face and you can get it with a right bolt/left port configuration as well (nice for a loading and catching spent brass with a bolt action target gun). So if you really wanted to you could build your own rifle yourself. Shilen makes pre-threaded drop-in barrels for Savage rifles, and you could order a Richards Micro-Fit stock for it. All you'd need is a barrel vise, a barrel nut wrench, and a set of headspace gauges for your chose cartridge. But Savage does make a surprisingly good rifle for the price.
