So here we have a newbie doing his first Savage build
The thought is to build a .308 deer/hog/bear(?) gun on the cheap .....

I inherited 2 rifles as a starting point. Looking up the serial numbers,
-1 model 110FXP3, fixed mag, synthetic stock, scoped package
-2 model 11FYCXP3, detachable mag, synthetic stock, youth, scope package
Both are Wal-Mart cheapo(?) non accutrigger

I have already bought a "hog hunter" take off heavy barrel so I'm into this project for about $150.

My plan was to go with a MDT LSS Chassis [eventually] because I'm still an "AR Guy" at heart.

Speed bump #1 is aligning the rifle sights in the non-original receiver .... the advice I'm hearing is just to remove them.
Speed bump #2 should I bother starting without an Accutrigger action?
Speed bump #3 will either of those cheapo synthetic stocks fit a heavy barrel?

Am I trying to "put lipstick on a pig" or should I just go buy a new Hog Hunter?
