I have been sifting this sight for some time, Inspired by some of the builds on here and gaining very useful info from many members.
Over the past 6 months I have been trying to throw together the required parts for a Mid Range (up to 700Yd) Varmint rig by looking and reading and asking the typical newbie questions... thanks to you guys on here I seem to be on my way!
I had ordered a Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter Max 1 in 22-250 only to find out that it had been sold unexpectedly by a new sales person at my local Rifle Store... I live down in NZ so when it takes 12 weeks for an order you get a wee bit miffed.
This left me somewhat lost as all the research I had done was based on the model 10 4.4 action so I thought I may have had a few parts on my hands and no where to put them!
As it happens I found a used weather warrior in 22-250 that has become the donor rifle... It will of course require a new heavier barrel (Light Varmint) but I'm still to decide the caliber... it's looking like .243 as the 6br is harder to get here and I'm new to re-loading.
Here she is in the Choate stock with a "Floated Barrel" ....

I have a Timney Trigger, Southern Ordnance Bolt Handle, PTG Fluted Body, Sightron 8-32X56, EGW Rail and Leupold MK IV Rings for her when I get home....
Right now she is at a mates place wearing a Sightron 6-24X50 for some testing and a DPT Modular Can until we see how she shoots...
Silvercrow1 Here we go!! I'll post up when she is fully "Loaded" with the goodies and ready for action.
