wyohunter99,
So often I read posts by folks who speak from predjudice or shear ignorance.
A few years ago I did exactly what you are talking about. At the same time I did one on a Remington 700 action with a custom barrel. The Savage ALWAYS fired groups in the 3's. The Remington never did.
The custom had a Pac-Nor barrel on it. When I told the owner of Pac-Nor he sent his son here, since I am close, with a rifle holdoing devise to prove me wrong. The Savage still shot four 3/8" groups while the custom Remington couldn't come close.
Play with what you like.
By the way I recently had a Savage sorta custom done with a Nitride bath job on the barrel. I am waiting for it to be returned from Joel Kindrick now. It will sport a 5-25X52 Swarovski. One never spends too much on a scope as long as it doesn't take from his faimily, but one certainly can spend too much on a rifle.
