    Well, I guess I'll play. Simple minds: I'd like a Savage Target Model in .260. I'd like it topped with a VORTEX FFP Mill-Mil. 6-24x50, with sunshade. Put that in a Cohate Stock. Harris BiPod 13-25" swivel model. AND components to load 2000 rounds of ammo. for it. I'm too tired and lazy this AM (worked all night) to look up models and prices, I'm guessing I'm under $6K.

    I'll even travel up to 100 miles one way to get it!

    The best bang for the buck, that even if you spent more than this, would be hard pressed to beat it.

    It goes like this in round numbers.

    Target action $600.00
    Custom barrel $400.00
    Stock $300.00
    Rail & Rings $200.00
    Sightron 10x50x60 $1000.00

    Total $2500.00

    I would take two of these for 5 grand

    Yeah....you bot the factory rifle then trashed the stock & barrel when you could have just bot a Savage action & built from there. Then you plowed $$$$$ into glass that IMHO, is overkill. A good VX-3 with a 25X Max will do ya fine.

    I had one of those Sightrons 10x50x60 for about 10 days use, "a very good friend" and I tried it on 6 of my different rigs, from my smallest 223AI to my 338 Edge and everything in between, and I can't believe how it reduced the size of my groupings, It's like looking though the Hubble telescope, I am sold anyways.

    Personally I would fore go that Boyd's laminate stock for something along the lines of a B&C Medalist Tactical. The .338 Lapua is a very stout round and generates a lot of recoil. I'm not saying that the Boyd's cannot handle it but I would rather have that beast sitting in something that had an integrated full length aluminum bedding block. It should be more rigid under recoil and eliminate the need to pillar bed. It should provide better shot to shot consistency.

    Target action left bolt right port or a dual port 338 edge

    $600

    Whidden tactical stock

    $600

    Vortex viper ffp scope

    $1200

    Vortex rings

    $100

    Egw heavy duty base

    $100

    I'll take one in the 338 edge, one in 22-250 and probably 260

    The 22-250 and 260 would be DBM repeaters.

    Or....find a RUM action and get a .338 Edge barrel. More performance and cheaper to build.
    More shooting, less typing.

    18 or 20 inch LaRue OBR in .308, topped with the Vortex Razor.

    If I had $6,000 to blow on a rifle, you can rest assured it wouldn't be a Savage.
    FTR in 223, BA LE Tactical in 308, 110 Flatback in CBI 6mmBR Norma, Others

    A regular centerfeed action is a better choice for an Edge. Especially if you add an Accurate-mag DBM.

    For 6k, I'd probably get something from Kirby Allen or Shawn Carlock. Maybe a LRKM topped with a Sightron 10-50.

    Like this Left Hand beauty.

    I would put $1300- in a 110 fcp-hs. If it needs a rebarrel then you can factor that in later. Mine shoots incredibly well. That takes care of the stock also because it is already in an H-S Precision stock. Good glass $1000- to $1500-. Decent suppressor like a YHM Phantom SS/QD 338 $851- Good rings $150- it comes with a rail. $3500- to $4000-. Then you are free to spend the other $2000- on reloading components, you will need it. .338 Lapua is not cheap to shoot. Factory ammo is astronomically expensive and reloading for it, if you factor in the cost of brass it is about $1.32 per round for me to reload it.

    If it doesn't have to be a Savage, I'll do a Bighorn action built by Beanland, or a Tango51 by TacOps.

    For a Savage, I'm kind of doing what I want right now, but a T&T'd .260 in a T4A or a light weight .257 Roberts in one of Manners' EH series both have a lot going for them.

    All of those will leave plenty of cash for optics, and each one will ask for different glass.

    I can't see building a dream rifle off a savage platform period. there are so many actions that are where you need them to be....without all ofthe work. Now a workhorse get dirty and beat up rifle. Savage all the way.
