A friend of mine is willing to sell me the action cheap.

He says it's in a nylon stock and is currently chambered in .22-250

Evidently the bolt is blocked to limit rearward travel for the short action cartridge.

It sounds like an interesting project.

I have had trouble finding out when a gun like this was available. Action screw spacing does not seem to be listed in the FAQ article and I wonder if it would be compatible with the spare Accu-trigger I have? Is this going to be a small shank action?

I haven't seen the gun yet but I'm trying to see what it will take to make a nice benchrest style rifle from an action like that.

Thanks for any help that can be offered, I'm just not up to speed on the different flavors of Savage action beside the Axis.
