Hello, My name is Kyle and Im from SW Missouri. Ive been shooting my whole life and loved every minute of it. My first rifle was my dads first rifle, An Ithica model 49. I worked in Law enforcment for a bit but now help with the family business.
Ive built several Ruger 10/22 rifles and customized other .22's. Ive never owned or built a bolt action centerfire rifle, so I thought I would give it a go.
I want to build an all purpose rifle of sorts. I want to use it for deer, coyote, and target shooting. I have basic reloading skills and hope to develop them with this project.
So, I bought a savage 11 Hog Hunter
current state of rifle if you dont want to read through
Ken Farrel 20moa base
cheap rings
cheap bushnell 3x-9x
Sorry for bad pics...... cell phone.
I bought the rifle in .223 because it will be cheap to shoot/practice for now. I will post groups as I/gun progress so I can keep track of improvement.
I am going to buy a stock tomorrow, Im going to order the B&C medalist tactical. I talked to the folks at stocky's and they said they were a couple of weeks away still.
I am going to start saving for my barrel, think Ive decided on 243 winchester, Any other ideas?
I want to get the CDI DBM conversion..... will the 243 work in the AI magazines?
Thanks for all the help!
Thanks for the comments!
