The Savage 110E in .22-250 Dad gave me had about 2000 rounds through it and would still print 5 shots into a 100-yard group you could completely cover with a dime. Daughter #2 was being kind when she called it "homely". But it shot, so I didn't care.
The .243Win FXP3 I picked up used for $295 was going to be a donor for a 6.5-something-or-other until I loaded up some mid-range Hornady 95g SST loads and tried them. Crap, damn thing was under .5MOA. And yeah, its got an ugly synthetic stock. Not going to touch that rifle, need another donor.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
