Mattri,

I agree with you - T&T isn't going to be worth it on a Savage. From the looks of the post, there's some pretty strong opinions on SSS isn't there. Anyway - I'm using a Shileen barrel, a SSS stock, a Calahan recoil lug. I rebuilt the bolt head and swapped magzines out to a 30-06 type (which fits the 308 family of cartridges). Don't remember the load recipe because I'm up stairs and too lazy to walk down to the basement to look up the info - sorry. It is a 140g HPBT SMK using 4350 but don't remember the exact load. I can look it up later if you'd like.

I'll be bedding the rifle this coming week - everyone on here was extremely helpful which convinced me to try it. Doesn't look that hard - hell, if I could make it through Vietnam anything else is a cake walk! I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Later......
