Reply With QuoteBeat you up? For what?? That’s looking great my friend! Looking forward to the finished project.
Got my stock today. I'm not finished so don't start beating me up.
It's a Model 11 in a 14 stock. 22-250and 243.

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.
A pride and joy! Looks great.
Leupold VX-5HD? Or maybe save a bit with a VX-3? That’d be a nice addition indeed, eh?Originally Posted by kwarw1
I have to admit, the VX-5 3-15x44 would look like it belongs on that rig.
Looks great
If you like the look of white line spacers you can always cut disks and or ovals from a white plastic bucket ( like a sheetrock mud bucket) to match the grip cap and recoil pad dimensions and sandwich them between the grip cap and recoil pad and the wood.
I did one in a classic style also inspired by the model 14 I couldnt afford. Its been quite a while back and it worked out pretty well.

A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
I remember that thread lol.
I lived in ATL for 12 years. Moved up 85 to Lake Hartwell, I-285 looks really nice in the U-HAUL trucks rear view mirror.
Darn it Dave you got me thinking. My SIL's mother works at Bass Pro and get's large discounts and Black Friday is coming soon. I might just use up a favor!Leupold VX-5HD? Or maybe save a bit with a VX-3? That’d be a nice addition indeed, eh?

Yeah man… see what you can get it for. I’ve found deals are out there. Here’s a VX-5HD with either the Fine Duplex or Wind-Plex CDS reticle for $899. That’s a darn good deal for a https://www.amazon.com/Leupold-3-15x...1zcF9hdGY&th=1
VX-5. I’m a Mil/Mil optic kinda guy, just as I like Chassis over Stocks. But if I was looking for a straight hunting scope, the Leupold VX series would be my choice. Either the 3 or the 5, probably the VX-5. Leupold just does them right.
