    Default Savage long action build, need ideas.

    I bought a new 338wm the other day. Its purpose is long range targets and medium range big game hunting as well as the occasional prairie dog exploding! I purposely bought this because it was cheap and an excellent builder. I hate remington and couldnt find a cheap enough weatherby or howa donor. It is a pre-accutrigger clearance model with a scope for $350 new. So I sold the scope already and will be buying a new one tomorrow. I am gonna order a rifle basix trigger (which is why i didnt pay extra for an accutrigger). I am shopping for stocks but they are limited for this LA with detachable magazine. I wish they made a Wyatt trigger guard magazine conversion for it but oh well. I am also deciding if I should get a muzzle brake or not, threaded so i can remove it for hunting? I am still finding all the reload stuff so i can quit shooting $2+ a round hunting ammo for targets. I havent shot long range in a few years so i am still debating my options. Its a budget build so I am looking for ideas on stocks? And to brake or not? I will probably wear this barrel out, I was gonna go 338rum but didnt realize my magazines werent big enough! Any ideas/help? Thanks.

    I would have went 300wm but couldnt find a good deal on one.
