Hello, just wanted to get started building a Savage and I need some help

[Dave Hoback]

I thought you found a good barrel. Now you got a reamer. I think it is all coming into view.

You are just now seeing what’s going on here? I could call this one from a couple posts in. There are some questions a qualified gunsmith/builder doesn’t need to ask! Even a lowly home builder/DIY’er like me.

I never worked on building a Savage, so I'm a duck out of water.

I'm assuming the barrel you found NOS is a prefit, since it's already chambered.

For a shouldered barrel, take all the required measurements as you would with an M700 (including recoil lug, crush, etc), flat breech/no bolt nose recess.

You still need a recoil lug and nut, the aftermarket "precision" ground lugs and nuts are only a few bucks more than the cheaper ones, lots of different manuf's...
Jim @ Northland Shooter Supply is a good resource for parts and any questions you might have.

After I learned how the barrel worked, WOW thats easy peasy work. I'm used to doing everything, and this takes the fun out of it. Kinda like my Dan Wesson. The barrel is a OME takeoff from a new rifle.

Between several different suppliers I can build the bolt for under a hundred dollars.

The stock will get strengthened with steel rods, sealed, that will keeping it from warping.

I have several scopes, bases, you name it. Its really going to be the cats meow.

Again, as I said, I'll send the receiver off for bluing, everything else will be fairly nice and blued.

The trigger guard will be steel and I'm knocking around the idea about the floor plate which one do I want to go with.

Do you have the stock in your hands yet?
I don't know if this has been covered above (I'm lazy, and don't read dozens of posts), but stock/action compatability does get a bit complicated. Depending on the date of manufacture of your action, it could be an older "staggered" feed, or the newer "center feed". This affects the inletting, and action screw spacing.

Is there a magazine attached to your action? If not, it's center feed (or, it's a staggered feed that's had it removed). The older staggered feed actions are "flat-back" (not sure if all were, or if there was any overlap) instead of round (only affects your scope base selection).

Somewhere on the site is a good article explaining the differences, so you can determine if your stock is compatible with your action without modifications being required.

I've read about the two different ones, can anyone tell me what mine is?????

Since I don't have anything on the receiver what would a: YOM 2007, Long Action, 30-06 be; staggered or center feed????


thanks.

Walz first post said it was a 2007 centerfeed.
