Yep, if you know what you have and what parts you should buy, Savages are super easy!
You will love the accuracy that the floating bolthead will give you, even with a factory barrel!

Contacted Savage and its a: factory built 30-06, center feed, built August 2007, on a cheap ass plastic stock.
Now it's going to be a: 300 Win Mag, center feed, on a black stain finish wooden stock.
Sling, scope Piccadilly rail, recoil butt pad. Everything is in the workshop for these parts.
I want to build me a bolt that is custom, that will take some time to achieve. I have a guy who will give it a nice finish if it comes to it.
I'm having a bump in the road with the barrel, I'll follow up on it when things are more clear.
Parts are starting to trickle in now.
PICCADILLY rail? You want to MAKE a custom bolt??
Oh this keeps getting better & better. I can’t wait to see this! It’ll be the most ill “Original, GANGSTER Number 1“, SON!
Nothing fancy, just a moose hunting rifle to fit my needs, nothing out of the ordinary, I need one that will hold up to whatever the backwoods throws at me. :p
Piccadilly rails are excellent for adjusting the scope to eye distance. :rolleyes:
The bolt will be tuned up, I like my bolt bodies smooth as glass, just bare buffed steel. The bolt handle will be customized for me, I use sweeping bolts. I want to lap the bolt, receiver to match them up.
I've decided to go with a wooden stock, which will needed to be customized. The stock will be customized for my length of pull, my grip, I'll add some rods for strength to prevent cracking and twisting and a couple of hollow supports for the two receiver mount bolts. :heh:
I'm looking for a customized one piece floorplate, the aftermarket ones are *****en, they hold more rounds. :distracted:
I want to tighten up the headspace, clean up the barrel, depending on the measurements I have other ideas. :cool:

Robin, I nearly peed my pants laughing when I saw your post just now!! So, is it Piccadilly & Weaverony style bases?
Honestly! What is this?
I like humor, however not everyone can build a rifle from just a receiver, so I'm adapt to building firearms.
Some of my firearms are all factory original like my Polish AKM and its sister AKMS both are hand built using all original parts, and both are blued just like the factory of that year 1965 and 1970.
Getting back to my builder,I've got the stock where I want it, took all morning but it will be just right for hunting, I've done some mods that are beneficial for me. .
You should see my armory, 50 long guns, 10 handguns, are all in excellent condition. Hunting rifles are very specific, everything about them is for the person using it, I have three sections of the armory; one is hunting, second is military rifles all of them are 100% original, then we have the home defense firearms, which are 90% original factory. Third is my handguns and they are diverse.
Off the shelf firearms are not you want if you want to excel in the woods. I customize everything from the trigger, down to the nuts and bolts.
The Picatinny rail (/ˈpɪkətɪni/ or /ˌpɪkəˈtɪni/), or Pic rail for short, also known as a MIL-STD-1913 rail or STANAG 2324 rail, is a military standard rail interface system that provides a mounting platform for firearm accessories. It was originally used for mounting scopes atop the receivers of larger caliber rifles. Once established, its use expanded to also attaching other accessories, such as: iron sights, tactical lights, laser aiming modules, night vision devices, reflex sights, foregrips, bipods, slings and bayonets.
I have auto correct, its hooked on Ebonics, as long as you know what I'm talking about I do give a rat's ass.
Well....I have a Phased Plasma rifle in the 40-Watt range! So...mines’es is DA BESTIST!

Getting started. :)
Can’t see the pic. “Error showing page”
Why can't I upload photographs here. :mad:
Guess I'll start a page of my own here: Savage rifle builder
Anyone have any idea where I can find a five round magazine, .300 Win Mag center feed? :confused:
You can't upload pics because this site is running on a low budget, ie, not enough server space to store all the pictures. So, as you have done, the pictures must be posted on another website and then links to the pictures are placed in the thread.
I am sure if the forum 'owner' received a free server upgrade they might consider storing pictures within the forum. ;) There is also the virus and hacking issues associated with storing pictures on a private server.
Your parts gun looks ok so far.
What happened to wanting I got a Piccadillio mount?? THATS a WEAVERONI!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist) So far so good it looks.
this is a great forum for researching builder options, no B.S., no smart ass members, just really good answers.
:smile-new::smile-new::smile-new::smile-new::smile-new:
I've been researching the options regarding the barrel nut screw and I came up with a barrel nut screw that is "smooth" and not that fugly nut that looks cheesy. :rolleyes:
Problem with the smooth barrel nuts...I haven’t come across any which are nicely machined. So you are stuck with the stock Savage smooth nut if you can’t find any machined. I have found in nearly 2 decades of building firearms, it’s the “little” parts that can make a difference. I have a profound appreciation for precision machined nuts/bolts, and parts like the recoil lug.
That stock turned out interesting. Are we going to see a picture of the finished product with good lighting.
Stock turned out weird! Absolutely weird!
I was told it was walnut, when I stained it sealed it thats what it turned out. I know it's sanded, stained, sealed, but its really interesting how the colors came out. I guess I can call it the " bastard child", it is what it is. :)
I'm really out of resources on finding a smooth barrel nut, those look much nicer than the ugly nuts they really blend into the barrel.
I thought I found one on eBay, however the seller stated "scratches" on the nut and when I got it it looked like a pipe wrench was used on the nut. What a turd for a seller. :mad:
:confused: Got any suggestions???
:rolleyes:
Another note: I located another wood stock, this one turned out really nice, the walnut just darkened up nice and evenly, no spots, ugly marks.
Another note: I am having a difficult time locating the "cocking piece sleeve" anyone have any ideas ?
If need be, I'll get in touch with the factory, they helped me out before, pretty reasonable, and I'll pick up a five round magazine.
Far as the SMOOTH barrel nut, here are both Small & Large shank nuts. Like I had said before, I have never seen these these machined from bar stock. So the factory stock unit is your only choice. Now, if you have the means, you can machine the stock part yourself which will be “better”. And use a MACHINED recoil lug as that is more important imo. Looks like you are out of luck for the cocking piece sleeve. Seems that EVERYONE is out of stock! Savage parts is your only recourse there. Call, start a convo. with the rep and give ‘em a sob story. Maybe they’ll bite!

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/17...-10-110-series
I checked in with Midway and it's a bust. The smooth barrel nut that's chewed up, I received from eBay, I've contemplated turning it and cleaning it up except I'm worried that it might be compromised and unsafe if I take any metal off of it.
I'm going to call the factory next week, for the cocking piece sleeve.
I just need a; accurate, high power factory ammo, .300 Win Mag, hunting firearm, nothing great, a sealed walnut stock with a flat walnut finish, not a safe queen, just a good shooter, safe, and reliable.
Savage has everything I need, it may a bit FUGLY with the barrel nut, the bolt setup is a bit goofy:wacko:, but it will do the job.
Well I certainly DON’T believe my Savage 10 looks FUGLY! In fact, IMHO it’s among the most attractive rifles I have ever seen! And before this I had a 116 Weather Warrior...all stainless and gray laminate stock. I’d get compliments all the time for it.
Opinions vary I guess.

Thanks
It’s not??? You mean to tell me my rifle WOULDN'T WORK to hunt with! Confound it, Dagnabbit, CANTEN PECKIN’ SASSAFRAS lied to me!!
Yes, thank you for clarifying. My picture was meant “tongue in cheek”. But if you read my response, I also owned a 116 Weather Warrior, SS & gray laminate stock. It was 30-06 and WAS my hunting rifle, while living in Tucson Arizona. While a 116, the look is IDENTICAL to a 110. FUGLY is not how anyone who saw it would describe it, the many times it was commented on.
I like the barrel nut. It's the stubby bolt at the back of the rifle that is a bit less pleasant for me to look at.
But, I have always been a function over form person, so I will keep with the Savages.
Then why are you using one to build a hunting rifle and not a Remmy? :crazy:
I MUST BE CRAZY!
My armory:
Hunting:
I have several Remington firearms, 870 12 Gauge Shotgun, riot and a true Wingmaster for duck hunting X 2, hunting rifle 30-06 X 2, WWI, WWII rifle, a Mouser 308 custom builder, Winchester lever 30-30 from 1952, numerous .22 rifles all USA made before 1950's. Remington Rolling block custom built 45-70 a great safari rifle. These are some of my working firearms not safe queens, however they are in excellent condition.
Military
WWI, WWII I have around ten rifles, post WWII I have around 16 rifles. All of these are various calibers, all of them are original no modifications.
Defense
Self defense firearms are long guns, Polish AKM, Polish AKMS, both original, two AR15 Rock River Arms both are original species, no mods, I have a original Yugoslavia SKS, all of my rifles that have factory "bayonets" lugs actually have the bayonets with them.
Handguns
I have a dozen handguns, Ruger, Glock, Smith Wesson, Dan Wesson, Colt, military handguns, I've got them.
So having a Savage .300 for hunting, kinda of a "beater with a heater" (defined as a ugly car that will get you to work and back) will be great for my hunting needs, a no frills hunting rifle, accurate, excellent trigger pull, and a bastard child. LOL :)
Aww SNAP!! You got them evil, BAYO LUGS that are only good for killing?? Don't those make guns even more deadlier-ist & super duper, extra illegal in Commi-fornia??
You think the Savage bolt has too many parts and is NOT easy to disassemble? Maybe I’m doing it wrong, because I have found them to be ridiculously simple to disassemble, modify, etc. And I only have one arm/hand to use, soooo....
So you WANT an ugly rifle.
I used to have a bunch of guns as well. Then found I wasn't shooting them much so figured I'd give them a better home. I'm the type that likes to use a few firearms a lot rather than a lot of firearms a little.
I'm really pleased with my collection, if shit hits the fan I'm ready to go, with two additional "ammo" safes I think I'm ready for anything.
You can lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. I prefer to beat my own drum and stay away from other people, they can be dangerous.
Charlie, I couldn’t agree more! Never was a collector, but started a love affair with firearms from age 18. By my late 20’s I had amassed
quite a number of pistols & rifles. During this time I hit a wall in which I could no longer just buy a new firearm. So when a new gun tickled my fancy, I had to sell already owned. Luckily this didn’t go on long. I gained the wisdom that I was unable to feed all the different calibers I owned. And knowing I was not a collector, it became easy to whittle my supply down to my favorites.
Reason for my theory and others who have "experience" with firearms and ammunition .
Actually, it's really important to have different caliber firearms, the reason is this; having say .300WM ammo goes dry everywhere, then you have another option say .308 to stock up on. If you have a .223 then you can buy bulk, and if that goes dry, you can stock up on bulk 7.62X39.
I have two Polish AKM, and AKMS, I built all "factory" original no "B.S. mods", both blued like the factory did in the 1960's, which is a smooth, efficient "killing" firearm, semi auto rifle, with it's bayonets, it can spit rounds out all day long without any issues. If anything happens that's the one I'm using in a defense suitation, not my AR-15 that also has it's bayonet, it definitely packs a punch.
I have to admit I really like my Yugoslavia SKS M59/66 or, Preduzece 44 M59 its a great firearm.
Same goes for handguns, .357, 9MM, 45ACP, 7.62X25, and so on.
Again, these aren't collected for show, they are for two basic needs: DEFENSE and HUNTING. A little long winded, however you can either be a victim or a survivor, a lamb who thinks they are protected by the laws, or prepared, on the defensive ready for everything that comes our way.
Yes, well I’m certainly not a victim or lamb, but I already know what many choose not to. Because of this I’m not worried about(or HOPING for), some “Mad Max” wasteland future where having a bunch of guns & ammo is going to assure my survival. And what people fail to grasp with that ridiculous notion is any future like that would necessitate you being on the constant move to survive. And how some people think they are going to travel with dozens of firearms & hundreds of lbs. of ammo is far beyond me.
No, I rather listen for what The Spirit is guiding me. Because my life is in God’s hand, I know He has a plan for me. Other than that, I’ll enjoy my few firearms, reloading, knifemaking & machining. LOL!
First, no Mad Max, were somewhat safe in the woods, if the U.S. should have a "catastrophe" suitation it's better to be safe than SOL. As f me, I can get everything I need when it comes to food without a grocery store in a "catastrophe" it's not want I want, but I can see the "self destruction" of the U.S., the political members in Washington can't wipe their own ass.
California is a clear example of a Nazi state, allowing immigrants to flood in and give out free food, housing, money. Removing firearm rights every day from the citizens, sucking the second amendment dry.
As for your "beliefs"your a deer in headlights waiting for the inevitable, nothing good comes from the lies they tell you, teach you from your book, just brainwashing and taking your hard earned money then spit you out when you have nothing else to give.
Sounds like a great plan to me Dave.Quote:

Wait a minute Walz. Are you telling your Savage is a POS, and if so spit it out?Quote:
The savage bolt is OVER engineered, way to many parts. Remington is simple, straightforward, easily disassembled
I am also not a SHTF type. I have what I need for 'normal' predators and CCW.
Deer in headlights? LOL 20yrs in the Army (tanks), another 20 in defense contracting. Yep, the government will continue to expand and rights will continue to go away. But, either this gov't or an international one will continue to rule. No amount of personal arsenal is going to change anything.
:peep:Can of worms!
I am not the only one who takes stock in being prepared, so I'm not all that different than other folks out there. If you are were military then you know the "real" truth. If you have been away from the military for so long, and you believe the news, media, then you are doomed. If you live in the "real woods", you have freedom to have preparations, freedom from the city mentality.
Savage rifle build, yes bolt over engendered. POS not really, parts difficult to locate, yes.
It's a ugly rifle, but it will do the job.
:boink::boink::behindsofa:Can of worms!
Still, it needs more work, the Walnut stain, sealer, filler are done.
https://sites.google.com/site/savage...attredirects=0
And the bolt looks spiffy now.
https://sites.google.com/site/savage...attredirects=0
I still haven't found the last parts for the bolt, the "cocking piece" another factory order i guess.
The stock is going to need a recoil pad, some protective permanent coat on the stock.
The receiver, nut barrel, has some work to be done.
The actual cocking piece or the sleeve?
