I'm talking about an across the course rifle for 200 yard standing/siting, 300 yard prone and 600 yard slow prone. I only have three Savage rifles and I don't think the actions are smooth enough, but if there was a way to get there I might pursue the idea. I could use a space gun upper, but I like the idea of a better caliber. Thanks in advance.

With respect to your comments of the action I would start with a target action or the repeater target action. If you had bolt bind then fit a ptg bolt body with .002 or .003 clearance and have Fred Moreo time and true it for you. Have the barrel fit without the nut.

My 18184 PTA really smoothed out nicely with nothing but TW25 grease and cycling it before I even screwed a barrel to it. Bet I buy a target action repeater when I stumble into the right one just because of the smoothness of the single shot.

I contacted SSS about getting my action timed and trued. I hope to get it done soon.
