I have a Savage bolt action in WMR that has been a great little varmint rifle for over 10 years. Very accurate.
I would be interested in reading how this all plays out, especially the course.
Best.

Don't get me wrong Paul, I like the 10/22, but I think the bolt will be a little more challenging, operator involvement. I am also looking to see how good I can be on as little money as possible, that's why I am entering the base class.
My initial hope was to either buy a base gun like the TK1 or an entry MarkII or barreled action and then build a precision rifle. But after a little research all of those would automatically put me in the Open class. You can't switch out the stock for a chassis and/or if an official can whip out their phone pull up your weapon and find an MSRP you automatically go into the open class. So a weapon that has been discontinued can be perfectly stock will go into open class.
So basically I am going to need to buy what I am going to shoot. It can be modded, without penalty, rails, bed the action, etc. but other than that basically stock.
EDIT: sorry Paul, it seems the courses change depending on where you are shooting. I guess each club sets up their own courses so something different each time.
