Savage 111 LRH- .338 LM "Project"??

[Wannashootit]

Just burning a few brain cells...

This seems like a pretty inexpensive way as a start to a .338LM build.

I like to make my own stocks, was wondering if this barreled action is up the to quality and usual Savage accuracy of their other factory guns?

Am I correctly assuming this is a different animal, that does not use a barrel nut setup and user-changeable barrel?

I am not finding any aftermarket pre-fits in .338 LM.

Just thought it might be a cool project to bolt together another Savage with an aftermarket match barrel in .338 LM....

short answer is yes... the 111 action is just like the other long actions

Mine groups them tight at 100- sometimes they share holes. The action is thicker than a standard long (looks to have same outer dimensions as the target long actions with a different ejection port). The nut looks different, too, but I haven't any reason to muck with anything but the forend just yet.

I don't really care for the chassis of the 110 BA, I want to make something more along the lines of the MCM A-5.

Both the 110 BA and the LRH have a 26", 9 twist barrel.

Anyone know if they are the same barreled actions, with the difference being the stock vs. the chassis?

I see now they also offer it a LE version with the HS precision stock...Hmmm...
