Hey guys. Got a hunting Savage 110E in 7mm RM. It shoots fine, and I am working on reloading for it and getting about 1" groups. I got a Timney trigger that I am tweaking.
Down the line I am thinking of replacing the stock to synthetic and the barrel (got it used and I have no idea how much life it will have on it!!). I think I will still keep the hunting contour, not go to a heavy one, but will go to Stainless Steel.
Any recommendations on what to change first and stock options? Barrel might be a Shilen or one from Savage-stocks. I'd like to keep the replacement stock and barrel under $300 each.

Thanks a lot.
