    Recommendations on replacing the stock on a Savage 11 Hog Hunter.

    Where are you finding a AI chassis system for the Savage rifles? I've searched high and low and despite murmurs I find online of AI making a chassis system for Savage I can't find them for sale anywhere. I did find a listing on EuroOptic but it states it was discontinued. On a YouTube video of...

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Yessir, figured it out, it was a Field Tactical Chassis configuration I was looking for. Sadly, it's a $1475 configuration, not $784.

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    The bolt lift on the Tikka is very light, a younger kid shouldn't have too much trouble flicking the bolt up. If you want to fix the savage instead of buying an entire rifle grab a PTG bolt body and a Stockades bolt lift kit. Those will remove the hard bolt lift on the savage action and the...

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    That's great news to hear. I had planned on sighting in the optic and really testing the gun out this weekend but the ammo I ordered didn't arrive on time and the weekend just didn't pan out with enough time. I ordered some 75g BTHP Hornady match ammunition, we'll see how it likes that.

    Photos Savage sitting in a Cadex Lite Strike chassis

    Looking at the Lite Strike or Field Tactical chassis systems for my upcoming build on a Savage 6.5 Creedmoor I have on back order. Wish there were more shots of your OD Green and Stealth Shadow Vortex to compare against one another.

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    I've yet to order a mag for this rifle in this chassis yet. I can tell you that the barreled action went into the chassis quite effortlessly. Currently debating the $40 MDT polymer magazines and shaving the forward lips of the magazine to allow me to run 75-80gr bullets or just grabbing a...

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    I'll shoot it and find out what how it does for me. I had felt alright about this entire ordeal until this response, now I'm curious. I need to re-barrel my 338LM before I re-barrel a brand new rifle, hopefully it shoots at least 1 MOA for 3 shot groupings.

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    Thanks for the input guys. The plan is to shoot the rifle as is and see how she performs with this 'dreaded' pencil barrel first. Worst case scenario I'm stuck with an unforeseen expenditure of re-barreling the rifle, best case scenario it's fine and just looks a little goofy in my chassis...

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    The rifle is intended as a trainer, so while it will see many rounds it won't be something I expect to perform shot after shot in a match scenario. The definition of long shot strings varies from person to person, at what shot count in what time period would one expect this pencil barrel to...

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    I recently purchased a Tikka T3x from a friend across the country. He contacted me stating he had just picked up a Tikka T3x and needed to get rid of it due to some unforeseen financial expenditures and knew I was looking for a Tikka in 223 for a trainer build. Long story short, the Tikka I...

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Which setup is this from Cadex? It looks like the "Field Core" but I don't see a place on their site to buy the skeletonized stock? https://www.drakeassociates.us/product-category/products/chassis-systems/cadex-chassis/

    Which first bolt rifle?

    I think you mean a Remington 700 5R here? A Tikka is a great gun that has a lot of following here. .223 is a cartridge that may be ok to start out with but if you plan on pushing farther and can afford to put a bit more coin into ammo for a .308 it may serve you better off in the long run.

    Fund an upper

    I may be interested in this. I want to get a precision gas gun together and was hoping to build it. This may be a good way to segway into it. I pass by Marietta often driving down to OU to visit friends. Did you have any specifics in mind for this upper?

    savage .338 lapua

    Went ahead and emailed Kyle to check and make sure it'd fit my 111; he said it would fit without a problem. Seriously giving the chassis option consideration over a traditional stock for the added weight. The A5 is an attractive stock, as is the T5.

    Bump for this thread. Have this rifle as well and would like to know if there's any options out there that I may have missed.

    300wm VS 338lm accuracy at ELR

    Hadn't considered a "economy" 338LM load. I'd have to agree with you here, 300WM is going to be a bigger barrel burner at the loads that push the round to 338LM performance levels. The re-barreling cost was just another factor I wanted to toss out there for the groups consideration as...

    300wm VS 338lm accuracy at ELR

    Considering that both calibers are magnums they're both going to be hard on barrel life. I've read and experienced things all over the board on brass life based on the manufacturer - I shoot a Lapua and typically get 8-10 reloads out of my (Lapua) brass but anneal after reloads 4 or 5...
