A couple photos in the wild

I know, I know it’s a Savage, but I’m actually digging this rifle, it’ll get me by while I wait for a Bighorn Origin action to show up and start building myself a good custom precision rifle. It shoots better out of the box than the 3 Remington 700’s I’ve had in the past. Top: Savage 110 308...

Stock arrived, so I got that put on and it’s a HUGE improvement over the Hogue. The Hogue pillar bedded stocks are basically garbage. I also installed a Savage factory bolt handle from the “tactical” models. Sometime this week the extractor kit should be here. I’ll hit the range and give the...

Have you tried an aftermarket extractor kit? I was planning to run it as is and see if issues arise with extraction, if so I’ve heard the extractor kits available will fix it. Considering they’re less than $30, that was my failsafe.

I’m definitely going to give the AccuTrigger a chance, but I’ve had multiple Timney triggers in 700’s and am a big fan.

This is why I went with the Savage, they have a reputation for being decent shooters out of the box. I went with 308 Win because of the affordability and availability of ammo. I’ve been shooting my Kidd barreled 10/22 a couple times a week hoping to develop my skills as a shooter. I used to...

Honestly this stock sucks so hard, it makes me upset just holding it. I’ll have it swapped the minute the Magpul stock shows up. It’s so flexible the stock makes contact with the barrels just handling it. The tungsten Cerakote on the barrel and action is awesome and was one of the top reasons I...

I got the rifle and mounted the SWFA 10x42. The hogue stock is garbage, rigidity is best compared to a partially cooked noodle, but I have a Magpul hunter stock in OD green on the way. I may eventually get a nicer stock, but the Magpul will suit my needs for summer range time/the upcoming...

I just ordered a Savage 110 Trail Hunter in 308 Win. I’ve never owned a Savage before, but am optimistic about this rifle. I was looking for a few things and I think this rifle hits the mark. 1. Cerakote finish 2. Heavy enough barrel to practice with at the range, but still be reasonable to...

Added the Magpul 1/2” comb riser. The Kidd barrel shoots really well, it’s handled a variety of Aguila all sub MOA. I’ve got a Kidd 2 stage trigger in the cart…we’ll see when I pull the trigger on that purchase. Almost $400 for a trigger is feeling hard to justify right now. Once I do put a...
