I’ve never felt so impoverished than being tagged in a Savage thread 
I bought an Ultralite because it was deeply discounted and I really like it for what it is, but I’m into it sub $800. I kinda want a carbon predator 6ARC but I struggle to justify $1300 street price for one of these rifles.
That rifle looks like it’s $2K on the low end… no fucking way. I was also less than impressed with the Phoenix 2 I had, it honestly kinda sucked.
You can buy a Proof MTR for $500 more that’s on an origin action with a trigger tech and a hand laid CF stock. Or you can buy an origin and proof prefit around $1800 and drop it in whatever stock/chassis you want. Both far better options for the money than a $2K savage.

Makes sense!
I liked everything about it until I saw the price…getting into custom range like you said
I own, shoot, and enjoy my three Savage rifles. My “ higher end “ ( AKA “ more expensive “ ) rifle, a Model 12 LRPV in .223, has been flawless and very accurate out to 500 yards. Having said all that, I wouldn’t spend two grand plus on a Savage rifle.

Sadly, I thought the same thing
A guy at the range asked for some help with his son trying to sight in his hunting scope on a Savage. I asked about extraction issues and the bearing replacement option. He said the second gen of whatever this model was had fixed that. He owned a couple of them and no issues fwiw. The bolt did seem to lock up at about 75 degrees and took a lot of extra effort from 75-90. Without a round chambered. The kid said he’s cycled in 250 times or so but no change.
That sounds pretty odd. I wonder what cause that. Can an action screw poke through and obstruct the lug on a Savage like it can on a remington 700?
If you look up the price for the barrel, it's a touch over 1000, the stock is around 700.
You're paying 700 or so for a stainless steel action, trigger, bottom metal and pic rail.
I don't think the price is that bad, but it is hard to imagine paying that for a savage.
Origin action $1000
Trigger - $165 (timney)
Same stock with bottom metal - $803 (there's a 25 dollar upcharge for the camo paint, included in this price)
Proof prefit or barrel nut barrel- $1049
That's $3017 without including the shipping on said items, add another 150 for that. No muzzle break included.
So you get a better action, with a better trigger for just under 600 dollars more. But wait, there's more. The street price on the savage is going to be 300-400 less than the MSRP. Now we're talking 800-900 price difference.
Is it worth it?
Only you can decide.
FWIW, I built my hunting rifle on an origin medium action with unknown munitions bottom metal and pure precsion adjustable altitude stock with a mullerworks carbon fiber barrel and a timney hunter at 2 pounds.
Proof CF prefits don’t cost $1000+ and the street price on that rifle is $2K on the low end from the fly by night drop shippers. Most are listing it around $2500. For $2500 you can build a better rifle on an origin.
Buying that rifle over doing a custom is retarded.

Ok, 2,000 for the low end from drop shippers. Is that not right in line with the 300-400 less than the 2400 msrp?
I got my costs for the proof prefit right off the prrof sight, $1049.00, you may be able to do better.
Of course, I could be reading this wrong:
$1049 is full MSRP and you don’t pay that unless your dumb just like the rifle. Many retailers are $200-$300 less.
You somehow seemed to ignore my statement that only th eOP could decide if it was worth it,
You also seemed to miss that I built my hunting rifle on an origin action, all of my parts came to about 2900 dollars.
I didn’t ignore anything, I address your false claims that a proof costs over $1K.
It is NOT a false claim, quite the contrary, I provided "proof".
If you buy directly from Proof, the cost is $1049.00
Fuck you’re dense. Yeah buy from proof and wait 6 months and pay more instead of a retailer that has one on the shelf for way less. I don’t know what point you’re trying to prove other than that you’re stupid.
Speaking of dense, are you in the market for a bergara rifle by any chance?
I would hope. If indeed Savage has addressed what has been a LONG standing customer complaint, kudos. Better late than never!
Every time I pass by their carbon barreled 22LR, I pick it up thinking how I'd like to have it.
Two things come to mind:
The, Against my better judgement thread, and the fact that I own more 22s than I currently shoot.
