I have just completed making another 6.5mm
gun, this time using a Savage target action, I
had this action sitting there with a barrel
for about 5 years before I started. Somehow
life got in the way of starting. Finally a
few days ago I started and the project went
pretty fast. I installed the barrel on the
receiver and then started building a stock.
All in all, it took me about 10 days, but the
hours were not many. I did not work on it more
than about an hour a day. Some days, I only did
about 20 minutes on it. The hardest part of the
endeavor was just starting.


This now gives me three Savage 6.5mm rifles.
This is just one too many by my thinking, so
I am thinking of selling one. The one I am thinking
of selling is a basic M110 with a 260 Remington
barrel, 24 inch. This should sell very fast, because
it is an unusual caliber for the Savage.


The thing I am wondering about is this, what
is the best way to sell it? The simple way is
to just sell the gun, of course, but since so many
people play around with setting up their own
Savage 10 or 110, maybe it is better to part it
out. This is what I am wondering about. I can
remove the barrel and sell it separate, should
bring a good price, is perfect, less than a hundred
rounds through it, 24 inch, and these
are not common, so some Savage builder is bound
to find this interesting.


Also along with this thought, that the barrel
should sell well separately, quite a few Savage guys
have more than one barrel for their gun, so
selling an action and stock without the barrel,
could appeal to that bunch. The action and barrel
should be desirable because it is a late
model, with Accue-trigger


So, what do you think? Should I sell it in
one piece or remove barrel and sell separately.
Also along with this, somehow I ended up with two
Wheeler barrel nut wrenches, I could sell one
as an option when selling the barrel, someone might
want them both.
