Hi all - I'm new to the Savage platform. I don't own a Savage, yet. I'm reading the forum and net to see my best options before buying. I'm only an internet long-range competitive shooter...so I'll get more use out of a rifle that can be used both hunting and shooting. I'll most likely buy a complete rifle and then swap out the barrel and stock as I go. Eventually adding more calibers and buying from the forum's classifieds, building my own. I live in the Smoky Mountains --the furthest range here is 200 yards...but that doesn't mean I can't have fun building good shooters. My wife also shoots and we both reload.
