Why not! I guess I'll go ahead and post pictures as I build my first Savage. Purchased a Savage Model 11 short action, top bolt release, blind magazine as a donor rifle. I purchased a bench vise today and borrowed an action wrench and barrel nut wrench. Tonight's task was removing the barrel from the action and removing the blind magazine from the stock. The factory barrel nut was torqued tight! Way tighter than I would have imagined. On order I have the following parts, which are schedule to arrive over the next 7 days:
- Criterion 26" barrel chambered in .260 Remington
- NSS 1.5 # trigger spring for accu trigger
- NSS recoil lug
- NSS barrel nut
- Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist Style 2 Stock - Black with Grey web
- Glades armory Savage tactical stainless steel 1.75" bolt handle
- Valdada IOR 1 Piece 20 MOA base
- I am planning on sending my bolt into Sharp Shooter Supply to have them flute it
The tape measure in the pics is so I can measure the proper head space when my new barrel comes in
