[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 907926, member: 30532"] I have a savage lrp in 6.5 creed. Shoots good. Close to 1/2 moa. I also have a couple customs and trued rem 700's. Custom barrels have always shot better then my best factory guns. I'd take the rem and re-barrel without question, throw a timney in there while your at it. You'll have a better gun in the end without the nasty feeling loose stiff savage bolt. Custom barrel will be easier to clean too. Nice group mud the 5r's are probably the best factory barrels out there. I've had one in 308 and one in 300wm they were both fantastic shooters that didn't foul much at all. They are dam hard to beat. Took a defiance action with a benchmark barrel to do it. Not more accurate but I get more accuracy before I need to clean it (longer shot strings) fouls even less then 5r's did and they were not bad. Nothing like the lrp I have it leaves almost as much copper in the barrel as makes it to the target.:) I'm also not a big fan of accutriggers they just feel weird. Shoot a gun with a Jewell or timney at the same time as an accutrigger and you'll see what I mean. [/QUOTE]
