Mods - I couldn't decide where this should go so feel free to move it where you think appropiate.
I've build about as many bolt actions as I could, now I need a little more of a challange, so I'm thinking of using a Savage Action, long or short I don't know at the moment, and I was thinking of building one as a tube gun. Have any of you done so? If so, can you give me some hints or ideas? Thanks....
Are you referring to stocks from XLR Industries, or McRee?
Looking them up either would be fine. Any thoughts?
I haven't personally owned either of them. However, there are plenty of reviews on this site. I like the looks of the XLR stock myself.
I built something similar using the XLR chassis and a SA in .308. The link below is my next build a true tube gun; using a target action,palma contour barrell, etc. (S1 chassis) it will be a single shot though.

If he is asking about a true tube gun then I don't I have seen one on here yet. I looked into doing one about 5 years ago but with the kit running $1k it started adding up real quick. I have seen some barrel block guns and of course the XLR chassis but no true tube guns.
click on the link I posted no wood /plastic ;there's about 3 pages on a build with a savage target action.....a real good read!
True tube guns have a sleeved action, not just a free float tube that shrouds the barrel like an AR.
