OK...

I'm thinking of making what I call a "Handy Rifle" a small truck gun of moderate caliber in this case .308. Good and very capable of shots inside and up to 400 yards or so and no more. This is not a long range gun...its a "go to gun" when you need something quick to make a fast shot on a target of opportunity.

Short Action Accu-Trigger or Stevens Action to keep the price down

Savage Striker barrel in .308 at 14" http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...triker&catid=0 threaded for a 2-2 1/2" flash Suppressor then pinned or welded for a legal 16" barrel.

Newer DBM Accustock bought used and fore end shortened by a few inches and LOP shortened by a good 1 1/2-2", barrel channel free floated, bedded and a decent trigger installed (if Stevens action used) I'm a short guy and a shorter LOP works for me.

Scout rail installed on the action/barrel and a true "Scout Scope" of 3-4 power, probably a Burris

What I'd like to end up with is a very accurate, very small, light weight and legal package with a DBM to use SSS or other extended mags with.

Comments on the concept? Has it been done?
