I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and finally had a little extra money. I decided to build this on a budget, so that's what I did. I started out with a Savage 11FCNS in 308.

I swapped a friend the original sporter barrel plus two AR-15 magazines for the 308 varmint taper barrel.

I found someone selling the Choate Tactical stock for $100, then sold my Accu-Stock for $75. I had a Nikon BDC 4-12x40 that I traded for a Harris S-L bi-pod plus $60. I then ordered the 20 moa base and because this is a budget build, I topped it with a Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP. I went with this over the Nikon because I want to teach myself how to use the mill-dots for range estimation. If I decide that I need better glass in the future, I can always save my pennies.

About the only thing that I still want to do to this is a new bolt handle.
Finally got around to shooting a little today and testing some loads. Today was H4895, got some RE-15 loads to shoot and hope to find some BL-C2 to try.
