Have any of you guys ever built a m40 style rifle using a savage action if so could you post some pics of your rifle. I was thinking of doing this was wondering if any of you have done it. I know the m40 was built off of a 700 action and all that but thought it might be cool to build a look a like on a savage.
If you mean the old style M40 based on the Monte Carlo stock I am in the beginning stages of my build...still trying to decide on LA in 30-06 or SA in 308. Only having the McMillan HTG or the Manners T3 as stock options with their $500+ price tags I am considering taking an old Savage Monte Carlo style stock and adding some wood to it and re-profiling the front to add a wider flatter fore end and opening up the barrel channel to take a Varmint or Bull barrel at 16" while I'm at it I will probably shorten the LOP to 12-12.5 inches as I am smaller statured and snug up to a rifle more than most people and shorten the fore end as well to gain some proportion back to it and make it a smaller light package as well. It will get a CDI DBM metal and run a 5 round most of the time and have a couple of 10 rounders as well. Scope will be either a US Optic or a NF...
Something like this...except in a Savage...

yeah I was thinking something like that I thought about using a savage 10 action in 308 with a boyds prairie hunter in walnut unfinished so I could finish it in a satin finish and a 24 inch varmint contour barrel
