When I 1st started shooting long range I built a precision AR15 in .223 and it has taught me a lot over the last few years. Now that I am getting a lot more active in shooting competitions and classes I have found the need for a more capable caliber and a bolt gun platform. Now I am a die hard Remmy fan but due to funds at the moment I opted for a Savage/Stevens build.
After the PMG class I was able to try out a few savages (<span style="font-style: italic">thanks ace</span>) and was able to try out the .260REM which really caught my attention.
So as soon as I got home I began searching for parts and started my build: A savage/stevens in .260REM
I am currently waiting on parts and my base rifle to ship but they are ordered and paid for.
Build as of now:
1. <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Stevens 200 LA</span> Savage 110 LA in 270. from <span style="text-decoration: line-through">drunkhumpinmonkey
</span> 762frmafr
2. 26" 1:8 twist Shilen stainless select match 260 barrel from Jim at Northland shooting supply. (good people to deal with)
3. Heavy duty stainless recoil lug from Jim at Northland shooting supply
4. Choate Tactical Stock for Savage Long Action from Combatstocks.com (a temp. stock until a better stock can be afforded)
5. Warne 20moa one piece base from warne scope mounts.
This is the build as it sits and I will update as parts are received and ordered and as the build is worked on.
If you have any ideas or constructive criticism let me hear it always open to new ideas! Thanks.
