    Tony. ..Here's the quick from what I've gathered so far.

     

    Rem700 is the Gold standard as it is the military sniping platform, tons of aftermarket stuff, and lots gunsmiths work on them.

     

    Savage are really inexpensive, their Accu-Trigger is very good and adjustable, barrel changes can be done without a gunsmith, tons of aftermarket goodies.

     

    The TRG is more popular globally than here in US, proven sniping/long range platform, shoots lights out right out of the box, proprietary scope mounts, accessories and the gun are stupid expensive, limited support.

     

    That's the skinny as I see it. What I keep reading is "Any of these guns will shoot better than you so find one that fits and spend as much as possible on optics".

     

    It will be good to have a partner down in the SCFGPA sewer pipes :-)

    I'm looking at getting into a precision bolt action and would like some opinions. I guess I've got it almost narrowed down to either off the shelf or build. For off the shelf I was thinking either Savage 10ba, a Remington 5r variant, or a Sako TRG-22. If I build, it would be Savage or Remy with AIS or KRD chassis. I will try to buy used of possible but the Sav/Rem actions are so cheap I may go new if necessary. I have done a TON research so kinda know the lay of the land but it never hurts to talk with the local experts. This will be a target rifle. I'd love the ability to shoot 1000 meters but the reality is that I'm bound to my local ranges. So, I think the majority of shooting will be 100-300.

     

    TIA!
