Two weeks ago I traded a Husky 141 chain saw for a Stevens 200 in 308 that was in like new condition. The first thing I did was go to the computer and find Savage Shooters. Thanks to the board I have a LRS stock from Stockys coming tomorrow. Thursday or Friday I should have my Sharp Shooters Competition Trigger delivered. Will post pictures and report on stock and trigger when everything is assembled. Thanks for your help.

My stock came today and is great. Barreled action dropped in with no problems. It looks good and feels good. Very quick service. Looks better in good light. When the sun comes out again I'll try to get more pix. For the price I don't see how you could go wrong.

It is the long range sporter in coffee. It came from Stocky's and was quick getting here.

nice job. I had a Stocky's rimfire stock that was the same color, and really liked it.

congrats...

Look's great. Now tell how much of a difference it made at the bag's as far as shooting or did you shoot before the add-on's.

I haven't had a chance to get to the range. The new trigger should arrive today or tomorrow and after it is installed I'll work in some range time. I was surprised that I was able to get the original trigger down to 3.25lbs. Looking forward to playing with the new trigger.

Thanks for the welcome, Bob.
I don't know what is next. Been thinking about a .25, .35 or maybe a 9.3.

I have a 9.3x62 in a Husqvarna 640 built on an FN commercial action that I really like, I've been kicking the idea around for a Savage in the same chambering. My most recent "next project" is a Striker, I have barrels in .22-.250, .243 and .308 for it and I'm thinking a .250 AI would be the cats meow!

The Sharp Shooter Competition Trigger came this afternoon and I now have a crisp 1.75lb trigger. I believe I am ready for the range. Sweet trigger. Thanks for your support!
