    Old Model Savage rebuild--Help with a sanity check

    Re: Old Model Savage rebuild--Help with a sanity check I agree the model 111 savage is going to be a 284 or a 6.5-284 depending on ballistics and what the gunsmith says and what parts are available. I am starting a parts list from the above -- any recommendations--- The model 110 I don't see...

    Rock Solid Rifle Stock-R700

    Re: Rock Solid Rifle Stock-R700 This is the first time I have seen detailed pics of this stock and it looks amazing. If I may ask why choose this over an AI or others. I need to do more research to see what a better fit for my remmy that I just ordered last night. I still have a lot of action...

    Is this a good place to start

    Re: Is this a good place to start I thank you for your comments and that is a good point to burn out the 308 reloading and experimenting with loads so when I get one like below I would be ready. This is an option i have looked extensively into calibers and I really like the 284 and the...

    Gunsmithing Alabama gunsmiths

    I will be needing work done in stages on a savage 110 308- rebarrel, A5 stock, bedding trigger tuned, all action work, adapt to accept mags, tuned to a fine machine. Then next is a toss up between 284 and 7saum with all the above including load development. The most important is a lr for my...

    Re: Is this a good place to start After talking to my wife about this she says she has already found Nd plans to buy a hornady lock N load loader with all the options. I know that this is not like RCBS but it would be a good start. This brings other options to lite. I need to look at the...

    What next?

    Re: What next? I have seen some sick 284's as I thought about that as a project. I would honestly go with a 7saum the BC and volcities that can be achieved on paper make it an extreme long range gun that would be a challenge. Just my two cents

    Is this a good place to start

    Re: Is this a good place to start One thing that I understand is the physics and after reading several great articles on this site the 308 sure is a fat cat compared to the sleek and high BC 260-280 calibers. But still the reloading issue is there that I cannot afford as now.

    Is this a good place to start

    I have been researching a lot on this to ensure I have a clue as lr shooting is a different animal. I found a 308 savage in a A5 stock. I initially thought that due to not being able to dish out $4000 for a GAP that I would start slow. So please lend a moment to help point my build in the right...
