i have given up on mag fed savage rifles. they lack structure/bedding surface.
so i have sold most of my savages, have two on their way out.
and am looking at the singe shot actions.
not an out right 'bench rifle" but a target rifle. more than hunting accuracy, a little less than br accuracy.
i am looking at either a lilja or a krieger as a shouldered/no nut or "maybe" a criterion drop in.
i will start with an accu trigger and an accu stock.
i would like to do turned necks and lapua brass, maybe palma brass.
1/2-1 moa out to 800 yards is the goal.
this is the donor rifle( bbl is already sold)
6 BR Savage Model 12 LRPV; Factory hvy SS 26" bbl w/1-12" T <300 rnds; Factory syn stock w/g-bedding over bedding block, Black; Factory Accu 1½ lb trig
