Jack,
If target is the purpose for your Savage, 12 LRP is a near competition-ready rifle out of the box for about a grand- can't be beat.
You can also scout the pawn shops and gun shows for a "donor action" rifle- an old hunting rifle that you can pick up cheap, strip everything from the action and custom build to suit.
This one chambered in .260 Match is built off a new SS Varmint action with a Criterion barrel in an AICS.

260 with 120 grain is deadly serious for antelope and deer.
I replaced my stock Savage stock with a new old stock Hogue, although the other suggestions to change rifles might be viable if you're indifferent about the Savage.
I love my 260 so much that I bought some dies and I'm thinking of loading heavier 140 gr bullets when my 30-06 ammo runs out to take it elk hunting.
