About this time last year I began putting together a dedicated long-range rifle. Wanting to do it myself I opted to go with a savage action. I have played with a few different configurations with optics and stocks but I have finally come to a point where I am happy with the rifle and feel like it is "complete".
Savage 11 action
26" Criterion Barrel chambered in .260
Fluted bolt with over-sized bolt knob
Accu-trigger with aftermarket spring and a crisp 1-lb pull
Aftermarket recoil lug and barrel nut from Northland Shooter Supply
Vortex Gen II Razor 4.5-27 x 56 w/Vortex level
Atlas BT46-LW17 PSR Bipod 4.5-9"
XLR Industries Element Chassis with Taclite folder stock
Accuracy International 10 rd magazine
I am very impressed with the adjustibility of the chassis system. I was able to adjust it to match perfectly to my natural point of aim.
She's not light! Weighs in at 15.8 lbs unloaded. I have about 600 rounds through it and was able to compete in my first PRS match this last Saturday.
I hope you enjoy the pictures!
