[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 304999, member: 9736"] There have been some great responses to your questions. Here is my opinion. You have two choices that will both accomplish what you are looking for. First choice is full blown custom action - Bat, Lawton, Stiller or other with a High quality barrel and a Jewel trigger set in a McMillan stock. Expensive but very accurate and good resale if you ever want to sell it. Second choice get a Savage Model 12 Varminter in 300 WSM. 1000 bucks you are done. Comes with a laminated stock and detachable mag. I would be very surprised if you didn't get under 1/2" at 100 yards. I have always been a Remington guy until I purchased a Savage several months ago. Model 16 in 7WSM and it shoots 1/2" at 200 yards with 168 Berger VLD's. I have 2 grand in a Remington 700 with Hart barrel and Holland pillar bedded stock and it will shoot 1/2" at 100. Savage is making some incredible equipment for less than half of what you would spend on a custom. Of course the Savage bolt is not as smooth and its no quite as purdy as the custom but you saved some serious money to put towards a Nightforce scope. [/QUOTE]
