I didn't look very hard at savage's for probably the first 4-5 months, which I wish now that I would have. I wanted a rifle that I could customize without having to go to a gunsmith every time I wanted to change something, but it had to be left handed bolt. After reading through a lot of the posts here about customization I was sold. This is a gun that I can get my feet wet with and learn some things about precision shooting and long range hunting as well as some minor gunsmithing. The barrel can be changed out very quickly and then a simple modification on the bolt and now I have a .308. Want to go out and shoot coyotes, switch out the barrel again, modify the bolt again, and pop some 58gr .243 in it. So far I am enjoying the heck out of it, I've only got about 60 rounds through it so far but it is very accurate to me, even when the barrel has been heated up.
@mattm0812, thank you very much for pointing me towards that article.
