They are excellant gun. I`m tring to pick up acouple of them in beat up condition so I can rebarrel them. You can do it your self and www.savageshooters.net/sharpshooters/ makes some tack driveing barrel for less than $300. I`m have him put a barrel on one for me now. He`s also putting in his target trigger, tureing the action, a different beater stock and I`m getting dies for it for abt. $500. But I`m getting a 22-6mm and the dies for that thigh aren`t cheap. Savages are excellant actions and the cheapest on the market to switch barrels on.
