Hello,

I'm looking to start my first Savage build in 260 rem.

I'm currently looking for a short action savage or Stevens but have not had much luck in the used market. Most of them I've found are not much cheaper than new around here. Now I've been throwing around the idea of buying a savage target action.

If it was between buying the target action or a new savage as the donor, what would you do? The savage package deals I could sell the barrel, stock, and scope. I could get the package for the same price as the target action so the savings would be what I could get for those takeoffs.

This gun is just for fun. Hunting and target shooting. I love to build things and am always tinkering with what I have. Budget is a little bit of concern but I could spring for the target action if I wanted to. What do you think?

Is the target accutrigger much of an improvement? With a regular accutrigger, I'd probably replace it. Not out of necessity but just cause I believe I'd want to at some point. Just the way I am.

What at would you do?
