Beat you up? For what?? That’s looking great my friend! Looking forward to the finished project.
Well I have a matte rail for 1 next is the matte scope, that's a start! LOL.
No seriously going 2 piece rings and a nice gloss scope. I did not have the correct trigger guard, I had plastic and had to bust out the Dremel,too wide.
Incorrect action screws. Lets say I have it roughed in.
Guess I'll be calling Savage Monday and Hope I have some luck getting a metal one in high gloss and the correct screws.
I'm pretty stoked as I only have $800 in this 2 gun project.
Thanks for your reply.
Looks great!
LOOKS good to me . the model 14 and 114 are my favorites
I helped a friend do a stainless version of the classic. We sandblasted the trigger guard, bottom metal frame and base. We ended up using a GK products stainless paint. It is more of a satin finish like the action. A SSS bolt handle and like you, 2 piece mounts with Warne rings combined with a Sightron SII Big Sky 2.5x 10.. Very nice with the Savage wood stock. It is a 308, so nothing fancy. He has handled it like an expensive rifle and and it looks the same. It has never failed him with 150 gr Partition.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
It’s so fulfilling putting together what is in one’s own minds eye the Perfect rifle. Having exactly the parts & appearing precisely as the builder envisions.
I just purchased a trigger guard, it's matte.
I kinda got to slow down a bit,been spending a bunch on guns lately.
I don't have it exactly the way I want it YET but I'll baby step from here.
I'm wanting a nice scope with the gold ring lol. That will be a while.
Thanks for the comments guys.
