holescreek: I've followed you making this as many others have, and it's absolutely beautiful my friend! You are very talented. I'm a DIY'er, but nothing compared to this! I've wanted to get & start learning a mill for some time now. I make custom knives, and really want to to learn to use a mill to start making folders. But it would just be another project I don't have time for. Be proud!
Thanks fellas! I'm still getting this rifle figured out. I bought a new Sightron 8-32x56 scope for it and put together some SMK reloads for it just before the cold weather hit and haven't had it out to the range since. In the meantime I have several of gun projects in the Que to get me through the winter.
Since everyone likes pics, here are a couple previous(non Savage) builds. The stocks are aluminum of course, the red one was machined manually and the green one spent some time on the CNC. Both have barrels made from McGowen blanks and shoot exactly the same .6" average 5 shot groups 100 yards with the same SMK reloaded ammo.
