If you plan to go the bolt action route, sell the Savage and pick up a HOWA 1500. Feeding /extraction/ejection is 100% reliable. Even more reliable than the Whisper I had built on a CZ/Mauser action. The Savage and Remington rifles can be reliable. Some of it is hard work. Some of it is luck-of-the-draw IMHO. Spook put me onto the HOWA's. I had one built and it has been 100 % reliable. EGW even makes a 20 moa picatinny scope base for them.
