My Savages are ugly. They don't cost much. They all shoot under .5 MOA.
I built one this evening that I started ordering parts for on Thanksgiving evening.
Picked up a donor action in a pawn shop Black Friday. Ordered the stock, lug, brake, barrel, brass, dies, bullets, bases, rings, scope on LRH classifieds and online. 7 DAYS during the holidays from WANT to SHOOT. Mcgowen barrel, lugs lapped, action, lug and nut lapped, base bedded and stock bedded. Will shoot with anything that isn't a PPC for under $1500 and 1 week wait time.
By the time a SEMI custom like a Cooper is at your house.......I will be screwing a new barrel on that Savage having already torched the SAUM barrel on it.
High end guns are PRETTY but I will have built 3 more and burned them up by the time a Cooper or LAW or Montana hits your door.
Guess I'm too darn impatient.
