I have owned several Savage rifles but never did my own barrel swaps or bolt work. I finished my SS project last night and supported a few sponsors here in the process. Started out as a model 16 fss in .308. Installed a 26" 7mm-08 Criterion barrel from Northland ( thanks Jim), SSS fluted bolt and recoil lug (thanks Lisa) into a B&C medalist stock ( from Stocky's). Time to hit the bench and punch some holes. I wish Savage would catalog std actions only again.
