I loved my Savage Mark II TR which practically was a Tacticool stock but on the centerfire stocks I think that the butt looks to long. Like the Choate does with all the spacers in it. Is there removable spacers on the TR?

What is the bottom rifle in your first pic?
Thanks

Just finished putting my Swede together! 1 build down, 2 to go (then I should probably go shoot them)!
(Sorry for the crappy pic)

Looks nice Elgin!
Here is my latest shooter. She is a V/T in .243Win, and I love the ergonomics of the VLP stock. I can't wait to get her all hot and bothered!!

My first Savage and I love it! 6BR, SSS stock that I clear coated. Shoots as good as it looks.http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/p...erfwlr/207.jpghttp://i427.photobucket.com/albums/p...erfwlr/205.jpg
Ratmag......What rings height are you running, if you dont mind me asking?
Vortex PST 6-24x50mm, Weaver Tactical 20MOA rail, and Seekins 30MM Lows... works great!!

I wanted a straight out of the box wooden stock rifle for my first gun. Unfortunately, since I'm on a tight budget and left handed, I was going to have to make a sacrifice on the wood stock. A few months later I finally got it to how I originally wanted it.
My rifle doesn't have the performance upgrades like you guys have.
-Boyd's Prairie Hunter Walnut Stock
-DNZ Game Reaper Scope Mount
-Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 Riflescope
-Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad
-Replaced all the bottom plastic to metal (magazine cap, frame assembly and trigger guard)
Here's my Trophy Hunter XP Model 11 Lefty .308
I stripped and refinished the Boyd's stock to a darker walnut.

Got this one painted yesturday (krylon). I was sick of the black and stainless look. It's a Savage 110 action with a Shillen stainless barrel chambered for 30-06 Springfield, Choate tactical stock, SSS trigger, Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20x50 scope, Karsten cheek rest, and a Harris bipod. Best group so far has been 0.295 inches averaging about 0.35 inches @ 100 yards.
scnewt....other than it was black, how do you like the Choate stock? It's high on my list and time for a stock. Nice looking rig.
It's a great stock. The rifle sits in it with the rear tang floating and plenty of room around the barrel. I love the flat fore end and the bipod rail included on the stock. Having the ability to slide your bipod down the stock helps if you want to add or lose weight on your shoulder when the rifle is at rest. The aluminum bedding block is also a plus although it's cut in a "V" pattern. I pored a skim coat of glass bedding just to make it fit better. It also had spacers to adjust the length of pull. The only thing I don't like about it are the swivel studs on the sides. They are free to rotate and my sling gets twisted around very easily. They also create an uncomfortable carrying position because either I have a scope against my back or a bolt handle (depending on witch side the sling is on). It doesn't bother me enough to keep from buying another in the future since I can put another set of studs on the bottom of the stock for allot less money than buying a McMillan!
Finally getting around to posting pics of the last two projects.

@BarrelBurner, Nice rifles! I almost went with a .300WM over the 30-06 on my rifle. How's the recoil? I'd assume it would be simular to a standard weight 30-06 with that heavy barrel.
Thank you, i am really enjoying them both. Felt Recoil is actually less on the 300 wm than my 06 with sporter barrel and tupperware stock.
Nice! I know my heavy 30-06 feels like a 243. Makes me wonder why some bother with a muzzle brake on a 308 :rolleyes:.
Ok gents,
Building my first rifle ever, scary huh? I currently have a savage 110 chambered in .300 Win Mag. Just bought a Choate Tactical stock (I'm a fan of the synthetic stocks) but it's a center feed stock as Choate does not make a stock for the savage long action with a drop mag. I need to dremel or drill out the bottom so the mag box fits properly. Also, the timney 2lb trigger just came in so that is going on along with a 4x12x50 Leupold scope with Warn rings. I am also waiting on an order I made a month ago from Northland to have a custom Criterion 26" bull barrel turned and made by Jim. Finally I will have it all shipped to SSShooter to have the barrel lug and action tried and trued and glass bedded. I also have a Harris bipod I'm attaching. Any thoughts?
Sounds good but I'm really not sure how beneficial it was for me to glass bed my Choate stock. The bedding block does fine by itself if you want to save some money.
Did you shoot with the stock before and after the bedding? if so was their any difference? I will be shooting at 800-1800 meters in distance so, every little detail will count
Yea I did a before and after and there wasn't any measurable difference.
My first varmint rifle, definitely not my last!
Model 12FV in .223 1:9 Twist
Stock is Boyds Forest Camo
Old school Acra Glass bedding dyed green and brown to match the stock.
Rifle shoots great! Not a huge fan of the accutrigger but everything else is right on!

looks really nice !!!
Base coat is Duracoat Coyote Tan from an aerosol can. The spots are rustoleum camo paint applied with an artist sponge.
Savage 110 stagger feed. McGowen 30" 1-10 twist barrel with no taper. Rifle Basix SAV-II trigger set to about 12 oz. Choate Ultimate Sniper Stock.

Planning on taking it past 1000 yards once I get the right powder. Have some RL22 on back order and Berger 210 VLD for this purpose.

Looks good, King. What is it?
MD80CAptain very nice camo job! Is that the sponge method? Or what material did you use?
Very nice selection of parts KingZero... Very nice...
Thanks, yes it is the sponge method. Very easy to do and very pleasing results. I got the method from tiborasaurusrex.

The 11VT? I picked it up last October. I took it hunting a few times this year, but never saw a deer, merely a bobcat walking my property.
I DO have plans for optics, and just placed an order with Natchez Shooter's Supply for some Nikon BDC reticle glass, Leo rings & bases. Grouping with that scope, and optic and surplus ammo? Not great... around 2-3" 200-300 yards. the big barrel really favors heavier rounds, and most surplus is 147 or 149 Gr.
I have some reloads, and access to more, and working on my own reloading equipment.
anyway, if you thought that 11VT was heavy before.... that choate tactical stock (by the way, they do make a direct fit model http://www.riflestock.com/store/do/product/TRS/25-06-01 although I had to widen the trigger assembly channel with that drill & carbide bid photographed) is HEAVY....
Cool! Yes I also have the 11VT (from Dick's SG) in 308. Mine will be more set up for shooting steel out to 1000yrds off a bench. I am eyeing the choate stock or the boyd's tacticool. I just got into reloading (pretty much just for the 11VT) and am working up some 175gr sierra loads.
Your Nikon with BDC should suit you well. I have a Buckmaster with BDC on my 30-06 hunting rifle and I love it for hunting.
Kinda what I'm thinking. I won't be so much benchrest shooting as I'll be shooting anything from 100-900 yards, maybe a 1k if I can find it around here.
Probably all day time shooting, so I'm not seeking a 50mm objective. how are the 175's performing? I have some 168gr hand loads to work with, and a lot of surplus stuff for plinking.

I just got this today actually. I bought a Savage 11 to build and 2 days later I find and I come up with this!
