[bryant5582]

It seems that I see WAY more varmit and tactical type custom savages on the web as opposed to light sporters/mountian rifles. Anybody got pics of there light custom "carry all day long" big game savages?

See a picture of "Super Duece" in this thread.

I was in the same quandry .....did not have a rifle that I could pack that would actually knock something over at any kind of distance (other than a 30/06). So....I built it. Found one of the lightest stocks, somewhat light scope, a medium weight barrel.....and here you have it.....also known as "Super Duece". 222 Magnum AI (204 Ruger brass necked up to 22 caliber), 1:8 twist barrel, provides 3150 fps with an 80 gr AMax.
