I have lots of fun with my Salvage rifles, 5 rifles and 14 or 15 barrels from 22-250 to 416 Taylor.
A couple Savages I've left alone and shot as is.
It's my duty to test a bunch of cartridges or I'll lose my Loonie Card.
Buying a barrel and a set of dies rather than another rifle each time I get the itch for something new has always made sense to me.
I personally prefer the Stainless rifles and have 2 in 260rem but as has been stated they aren't cheap anymore.
