    Building my first long range setup.. Savage 116

    Re: Building my first long range setup.. Savage 116 Well, thought I would put up a small update. This last weekend I got a hold of a barrel wrench from a buddy. Took the action and wrapped it with a piece of lead. Sounds crazy, but it was sheet lead and it worked great. Put it in the...
