1st time Savage builder vetting parts list

[SERE VG]

Hello,

I am piecing together parts to convert my pre-accutrigger Model 16 from a lightweight 7 WSM rifle to more of a precision/hunting .260 Rem build.

Recoil and cost and availability of components are the driving factors. I know a heavier 7 WSM would solve half of that equation, but the components are still tough to find and more $. I also don't "need" the horsepower of the 7 WSM. So on to the .260 Rem. I tinker/ modify / assemble on all of my firearms anyway, so this is par for the course.

I have 400yd paper and 1k yd steel ranges nearby the house. Target prey will be coyote, deer, wolves, black bear and possibly elk. Hoping it loves the Berger 140gr hybrid.

According to the AWESOME FAQs on this sight,I am the proud owner of a:

Short Action
"flat back"
Large shank
Stagger feed
Controlled feed
Left hand
Model 16
(Ok, I figured out the left hand, model 16 part myself)

Correct so far? Pics below:

I need the following items:

.308 bolt face and bolt components (my understanding my controlled feed bolt parts won't switch to the push feed)
Thinking the PT&G for the bolt face.

Barrel and large shank barrel nut. Thinking Shilen Match Select, Varmint contour from NSS.

Recoil lug and precision barrel nut also from NSS.

.308 Follower and magazine parts??

Tools: Barrel wrench, barrel vise, .308 go-gauge and standard hand tools.

Also thinking I want the following items:
EGW rail
A tactical stock?
Maybe a Karsten cheek rest

Will wear a gently used Bushnell DMR 3-21x or Sightron III when finished.

On the way:
Tactical works bolt handle

Missing anything? Correct parts for the build? Thoughts on sources, better parts etc. ? Dealers who offer Mil discounts are a plus!

I plan on leaving the trigger for now. It was worked over by a artist when I bought the rifle new. Breaks ultra clean at 3lbs. Won't be a limiting factor for quite a while. When and if it becomes a handicap I'll upgrade then.










Thanks
