Greetings, I have been an acquiring the parts to build a custom 110 type rifle. Starting with a bottom bolt release 111 in .300wm and I am going to put it into a an MTD chassis that a local sold me. I do not have any magazines, the bolt release that is on the receiver is incorrect for the chassis. Ultimately I want to rebarrel it to .264 wm, with a longer free bore to be able to use vld’s. It needs a taller scope rings so I can get a better scope, the 3-9 Nikon on it is not what I want for long range. I believe that I will need a top bolt release and savage won’t even talk to me, a local ffl got no where also on getting a new one. Am I at a point where I just need to send it out or should I just keep trying to find sources for what I am looking for? I am very mechanical, but it’s frustrating that Savage doesn’t seem to be as supported like the Remington actions are. Any advice would be appreciated.
