111 build questions

[wjarrell]

Hey guys I have a 111 30-06 that I'd like to build off of. First, I'm not sure if it's a small shank or large shank? Second I'd like to go with a prefit barrel bit I'm not sure what company to go with, Shilen, McGowen, Brux, Crit? I'm probably going to go with a 25-06 or 270.

Go to home page, look for "Savage FAQ", "Center fire", go to page 3. There you should find the info you are looking for. I Think!

I would bet Last months empty beer cans its small shank

[wjarrell]

Ya it is. What barrel company would you guys go with?

[olddav]

I have a Shilen barrel and like it but I have heard good things about all you have listed. Will this be a hunting rifle or target?

[wjarrell]

This is a hunting rifle for deer sized game.

Out of those you listed, the one you can get the fastest in the profile you want. Any of them are capable of shooting as good as you do.
