New guy starting a build

So I pick this up from a friend pretty cheap it's a savage 110 chambered in 7mm rem mag pre accu trigger. I want to go with 300 win mag and I found a Mcgowen 26" barrel that I think would work great but it is a standard shank. I'm pretty sure mine is a standard shank but then I read somewhere that magnums were large shank so now I am second guessing. As far as stocks go there are not many options for the savage long actions at least that I could find. I found the chote stocks and h-s percision but the price is about double and a little more. I would love to do a detactable magazine but that option seems to be about $700 dollars more and in percision long range shooting I will probably be loading one round at a time anyways. I there Was a more price friendly option I would deffinitly go for it but I guess you have to pay to play. Could I buy the chote stock for now then when I get the rifle dialed in and shooting how I like have the stock inletted for a cdi magazine conversion or is this a dumb idea? I appreciate any advice totally new to bolt guns at least building them. I have built many ar-15s but this is a whole different animal.

Looks like a standard shank to me. I have had a few pre accutrigger model 110s in 7 mag just like that one and they were all standard shank. As far as stocks go there is a few options available like bell & Carlson and Boyds. I'm no help on the bottom metal and detachable mags though as I don't mess with such things.

Okay I thought it was standard shank but sometime reading to much stuff gets you second guessing. Thank you for the reply and I will look into those two stocks also.

Also check out Stockade Stocks.Good prices but you have to wait.

Well a little update I called CDI today and they were super nice and helpful. I ended up ordering a Choate Tactical stock and the CDI bottom metal they are going to inlet the stock for me everything was $440 shipped. I think that's about the most cost effective way to get a DBM. I also ordered a Mcgowen 26" barrel, timmney 1.5-4 pound trigger, new recoil lug and barrel nut, Harris bi pod, acis 10 round 300 win mag, tacticool bolt handle and 20 moa scope base, also the much needed go gauge and barrel nut wrench. I know the choate comes with the bedding block will I need any bedding compound?

Also where is a good place to send my barrel to be threaded for a muzzle brake?

Congratulations!

If you have larger hands, you may find the grip to triggerguard area of the Choate Tactical lacking space. As far as the bedding goes, I have not bedded mine and am shooting .3"-.4" groups @100yds currently. Only 25 rds of the same load down the tube thus far, though. Overall, it is a very good stock for the money. Be sure the action only touches the bedding blocks and you should be good.

For the muzzle brake, depends on your location and proximity to a good 'smith or machine shop. Will PM you with my recommendation.

Okay well groups like that are beyond my skill level right now so I don't think I will need to do any extra bedding right now. My hands are not all that big so that might work to my advantage as far as the grip to trigger gaurd area. My local smith does not thread barrels he said that he does not want to be liable. I'm guessing if someone was to screw something other than a brake or a flash hider on the end if you catch my drift. Also thanks for the pm I will try giving them a call and see if they can help me out.

Find another smith as fast as you can. Threading a savage barrel is very basic for a competent smith.

It's not that he can't do it....it's that he won't do it because liability he said he does not want someone screwing on a supressor but that just seems stupid to me how can u get in trouble for threading a barrel? I could see a pistol but not a perfectly legal rifle.

Well pics of build are up have not got to shoot it yet but I can't wait. Still want to put a brake and and plan on doing fde ceracoat.

There is no liability. It is an excuse. Find another smith.

+1, even with a pistol it is not illegal and the smith has no liability of what a person could put on the threaded muzzle. Besides, a vast majority of states allow civillian ownership of suppressors. Not mine unfortunatly. Savage sells several models with factory threaded muzzles, and even Ruger for example sells several models of pistols (22/45 comes to mind) that are factory threaded for suppressors and brakes/comps.

The reason he's avoiding the threading of your barrel is because he will employ the less accurate method of threading between centers, instead of indicating of the bore of the muzzle itself. It's a faster way, but not a more precise way, and when you have $1000+ hanging off the end of your barrel, you do things the right way. Send it up to Russel at Rock Creek barrels. He's doing a .223 barrel I just bought from a member here (thanks Bradley Walker).

If the barrel hasn't been installed on the receiver then any decent machine shop can do it.
