So. how do you like it?Quote:

It is a brand new for 2015 design, and for now, only right hand SA centerfeed DBM.
This is my new long range rig. Have not had time to sort out a load for it but I have some test rounds loaded just waiting for a calm day.
It started life as a 12 BVSS 300 WSM. It had a bad day during deer season this year and the scope and stock got buggered up. The rest of the gun is fine. So after a few mods it has been reincarnated to this.
List of mods
JP AMCS Chassis
Alpha Type 3 Magazine
Northland Shooters Supply Barrel Nut and Recoil Lug
PTG Spiral Bolt Body
110BA Bolt Handle

Still needs the bolt handle I have ordered for it, dura-coated with the Woodland Digiflage and headspaced...but, there it is.
X-Caliber 31" Match Barrel with brake from Apache Gunworks
110 BA Stock w/5-round mag. 3.850 OAL Defensive Edge puts the 300 Grain SMK @ 3.795...
Redfield Battlezone 6-18 Scope.
Everything is brand new...even the action.http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/...2BB3C4F8A2.jpg
I really like the stock I don't know what else they are planning on doing for other models but the stock shoots very well can't wait to compare this savage with my rem at the range I did ask when they will be available and he said should be by the end of February.

Lol, me too, that's why I asked. 3.795oal just sounds short. My 300gr OAL is right at 4".
Oh. Wait. I shoot Bergers, not SMKs. That's probably why. Missed the SMK part the first time around.
Okay if it's a Savage Tactical Precision Rifle with the Indian Head then I have three Tacticals to post pictures of: (all the same a .204 Ruger in the Savage 25 and a Vortex Scope).

I like to use the lightest caliber to accomplish the task of varminting and that usually means the .22 WMR. On occasion I'd use the .22 Hornet feeling it was over powerful and loud and unnecessary. The .223 is not as good as a .22-250 Savage so since a .20 caliber makes since to an air rifle shooter like me I went for it.
It is accurate and flat shooting. It is loud. It is better than a .220 Swift but not a .22-250 Savage like this one I have for the Savage Varminter caliber: oops. It's a Browning X Bolt with the same kind of ventilating laminated stock as the Savage 25 .204. Thumbhole with green laminate and limited production. Wouldn't you know it?
This .204 is amazing.

4th from left is the Browning X Bolt in .22-250. One is Ruger 77 Mark II .458 Lott, two is USSR URAL ONE .22 Match Rifle, and three is .250 Savage in 114 Savage Bolt!

Old 110 LA re chambered in 6.5 creed.
McGowan stainless 26" tube
Sav-1 trigger
Boyd's, pillared and bedded, with karsten cheek rest.
2nd-hand glades (I think...?) bold knob trimmed down so that it's not so ridiculously long
Xtr rings
Vortex 6.5-20x44
.338 Edge...by the way, sighting in the other day @ 100 yds...thought the second shot missed, so I went down and took a look...same hole. Those were the very first two shots out of the rifle!! Put tow more in the same hole at the same distance while sighting in, the only time I wasn't adjusting turrets. I then shot two 4-shot groups at 300 yds under 2". For a rifle that was under $1500 to put together, I am VERY happy! Also, got it painted with the dura-coat. Only problem is, I want to strip it off and re-do! Haha!http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/...t/IMG_0746.jpgQuote:
