Ok, I have finally decided to bite the bullet. Savage 110e donor rifle... (Custom)
As you can tell by my screen name I own a weatherby. My main appreciation for that rifle is the following.
Rear Comb on stock
60 degree bolt throw
Great Action, smooth as glass bolt.
I would like to get some of the same features in my current savage. I plan to sell my weatherby to fund this build.
I have a 30-06 110e rifle. This rifle is a shooter! I don't feel the need to swap barrels as this thing will put holes in the same spot if i do my part. I have already added an S2 trigger to this rifle and its sporting a Vortex Diamondback 3-9 scope. I also have a 6-24 Burris Signature Series Scope. Below is what I am hoping to accomplish.
Better bolt that fits snug in the action and doesn't slop around like the current one. Fluting, jeweled or whatever is an option.
Different stock... I like the medalist stocks with the rear comb. They fit me very well. Main reason I went with my weatherby initially.
Muzzlebrake so I can shoot this thing at the range a bit.
Any other suggestions that members here have.
This will be my first build up. I have swapped triggers, and bedded actions before but that's about my extent of "gunsmithing"
I am thinking maybe the Boyds "Tacticool" stock? Looks like it has that cheek weld comb?
This will be a 100-500 yard hunting rig with some decent amount of bench time.
Oh, a 1 piece rail would be nice too! Any ideas if the 110e is different for the mounting system compared to the newer 110's?

I am attaching a picture of my current rifle base and ring setup. I have the scope as far back as I can get without getting into the bell of the scope. I still need to bring the scope back further as I am always having to lean in to the scope because it is so far forward. That's why I want a one piece base. Hopefully the picture will help determine if I need a flat or round...?
It looks like the top is FLAT from what I can tell...
Looking for something like this. So I can choose where I want to mount my scope...

I have this same EGW on my weatherby and really like it.
Or, can I move the base back further somehow? I purchased the rifle with these rings and base setup.

Will the weaver brand rail for an axis fit the 110? I have a cabellas and sports authority locally and wanting to get the optics thing squared away first before I get another stock.
Never mind. They only fit round actions. Ok. Buying a EGW

So I if everything goes well I will have around $500 to do this build. I was thinking of changing the stock and new tactical bolt knob....
I have found the style I like on eBay for the knob. I know eBay is not permitted here. Otherwise I would post what I am thinking of buying. Any ideas on stocks? I really like the manners 5a but wow it's spendy. Like the green color and everything.
I'm thinking for my budget, going with the choate tacticool. Non adjustable version.
My rifle currently is the blind mag version so this stock should work fine without any mods correct?
