Hey guys. I'm new to this forum but run on a few others. I've been shooting for quite some time but just recently bought my first Savage. I've shot Remingtons for years but when it came time to get a 338 Win Mag for Alaska I chose a Savage 116. The Remington quality has just been going down over the years and it seems that Savage is listening to shooters and taking their company in that direction. While I am very familiar with weapons, I am not intimately familiar with Savage rifles and joined this site to learn more. I am very interested in building a few of my own from scratch as I have seen alot of you do. Please tell me what I need to start researching in order to begin building my own. I would like to start with a 7mm Rem Mag with a medium heavy barrel on an A5 type stock, set up as a long range hunter. I have no knowledge of what model reciever I should start with or where I can get just an action and ect. ect....

Thanks Much guys. I hope to be on here for along time
