Small update: The Savage 116 LH came in today but it was not the one with the upper bolt release which is no big deal. I just sold a Remington 700 varmint in 308 and had a McMillan M40a1 stock that was supposed to go on the 700. I gave McMillan a call today and ask if I could send the 700 stock back and swap it out for one that fits a Savage: they said no problem.

Everything is working out great with one exception... The newer Savage barrel nut does not have any grooves for the wrench. I am going to have to borrow a pipe wrench to get this puppy off..

Cheers,

Shawn
