[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1161816, member: 11627"] Experiences can vary. I get douglas barrels for any of my rifles at the same price no matter the brand. Microfit laminated stocks dont charge extra Bell and Carlson doesnt either. Super high end guys like Mcmillian perhaps, but I dont shop there. I have built drop mag bolt guns, have no real use for them. The sharpshooter trigger compares well to the jewels in performance and price. Ken farrel 20 moa bases are the same for both remington and savage. So where I shop to upgrade the less pricey base model savage, the upgrade prices work well. On the accutrigger, so far two examples have locked up if the shooter lightly drags his finger across the center blade. It doesnt take much to jam the trigger, i was amazed how little it took as I often rub back into proper finger position on my Sharpshooter, Dayston, factory remington triggers. So I go for the older FP models and it is very simple to replace the monkey cluster original trigger with the sharpshooter comp trigger. I have found older FPs for 350 bucks, quite often they wear the original barrel for a year or two, that being the last part of the conversion. So I get a custom barrel, comp trigger, tactical bolt handle, 20moa base, laminated or synthetic target stock for right around 1000 bucks and it never has to be touched by a gunsmith! I love my handy LTR, but my next LTR will be a savage I can work on myself. Oh, I'm also not big fan of the new rem triggers or that triangular barrel, seems a bit hoaky to me. [/QUOTE]
