Both Savage and Tikka make good rifles. Don’t count out Howa and Beragara. The best bang for your buck out of the box is the Ruger Precision Rifle, IMHO

Thanks. I put some of the Ruger Precisions on the watch list. I see several for .308 Win and I even see a .338 Lapua Magnum as well (but much higher price $2.5K).



I've been doing some cleaning of my "security closet" (I have a digital combo lock on the door latch) in order to make room for all the new ammo I hope to acquire when pricing drops. I still have a bunch of old C & R items from my Uncle's collection. Surprisingly, I believe some of them are still in working order, all be they not in the "prettiest" condition. I can get those cleaned up and smithed whenever I choose.



It's ironic I asked about Savage Arms, because one of those C & R pieces that still seems in working order is a Savage 12G SxS double barrel. I also have a Remington Model II Semi Auto 12G as well. Will be interesting to see if these still work.

And that's precisely on what I've settled. The RPR in .308 Win. I should acquire it within the next month or two. I'm a little busy scoring some ammo to do my test/check firings of my new inventory.


But a question... how much should I "pimp my RPR?" That is, what accessories are good to add and which aren't worth the trouble? I'm considering:

1. Timeny 2 Stage Trigger group;
2. Anarchy Outdoors Titanium bolt shroud;
3. MAGPUL MOE+ PRS Stock
4. MAGPUL Pistol Grip (I that on my home built AR-15;
5. Catalyst Arms Mag release Extension;
6. Anarchy Heat Treated firing pin;
7. Catalyst Arms Fast track Hand guard Allows me to slide the bipod back and forth;
8. Anarchy Scope base with bubble level;
9. Catalyst Arms Enhanced Bolt knob.

Which of these are "worth it" and which are rubbish? Of course, I'm going to go with a Timiney 2 stage trigger group as well as the Catalyst Arms Enhanced bolt knob....


And a month after I acquire the RPR, I'll go for the optic- I've seen both a Leupold and a Vortex in the $900.00 range that looks pretty good.



Thanks
