Hello everyone. I just "finished" my first savage build with a savage .308 (may go to 260) going into a mcrees chassis and mounted a swfa 3-15 ffp m/m on it. Now I'm back at it and I want a little more "bang" for my buck (pun intended). I want to get a long action rifle with a little more distance. However my last build was a little more expensive than I'd like. I'm trying to get this build under 1k. I'm eyeing a stevens 200 in 300 win mag on gunbroker.

Now for the question is this a good investment ($300)? What are my aftermarket options? and what options would you recommend to get the most out of its accuracy. I'm looking for some good thrifty advice on this build to keep budget low (so my wife won't kill me). Any suggestions for a long action build?
