Hey yall this is my first post on this site. I found it while looking around, and thinking about a build. I have been doing some reading on here for a little bit and there seems to be a ton of knowledge on here. I would like to introduce my self, my name is Cody Jordan and I live in North La. I have been thinking about a build for the last couple years, but I am just now getting to where I can start on it due to $$. I will be back in a little bit to ask a few questions.

Re: Hello all!

Cody, if I were to live in Louisiana (or I hope it is not Los Angeles) like you do and had money for a build, I think I would look up a fellow Louisianian by the name of William Roscoe. He goes by the name wnroscoe on the Hide. Since you are so close I am sure you can go to his shop and talk personally top him about a build. From what i see and hear he does awesome work.

Louisiana Precision

welcome to the "Hide" Hope it works out for you and ask all the questions you need to get your build going.
 
Re: Hello all!

Thanks for the welcome, yes sir its Louisiana. This build will not be near as nice as some or most of the builds on here. I plan on building a "hunting rifle" that will punch paper pretty good, I hope. I plan on building a 7mag off of a Savage 110 action. I have to check on the kids but ill be back in a minute to start off with what I want to do, and hopefully get some sugestions and help. Stay tuned I be back in a few.
 
Re: Hello all!

Just looked at his site and his shop isnt but about 30-45 minutes from the house. Im in that area just about every day and didnt even know it was there. Hopefully he will chime in and I might can go sit down with him and learn a little more.
Alright for my build here goes, oh the only thing I have built is 10-22s so I figure this will be a totaly differant monster. Ill start off by saying what the rifle will be used for and we can go from there. It will be used for deer hunting and a little bit of paper punching. I figure the longest shot I will need to make on a deer for now will only be up to 400-450 yards. But I never know where I might end up. I would like to take a savage 110 action in a 7mm mag, and build off of that. For now I plan on seeing what it will do bone stock once I find one. If that dosnt work for me, the first thing I plan on changing is the barrel. I have been looking at Shilen bbls so any thoughts or sugestions would be great. Next will be the trigger, thinking about Timney sugestiong would be great. then the stock havent made up my mind yet which one. I figure this build will take me a while because Im not in a real big hurry "as of now". The reason I am wanting to go with savage is most of the work can be done at the house. The reason for going with 7 mag is you can find bullets pretty much anywhere, because I dont reload "as of now". Guys I know this probably isnt a very good decription of what I have planed, but its about the best I can do for now. If yall have any sugestions or coments it would be greatly apreciated. Thanks for yalls help.

Damnit Ron, I already told you once, Roscoe Williams is that guy that sells Chicken and Waffle's down town.

Give me a call sometime Cody. I'm not taking new work right now but I'll help you get lined out.
