Guys, I would considering having Savage build me a custom rifle but I don't know anyone that has ever used them. Does anyone have any experience with their "Custom Shop"? Thoughts? Thanks, Brandon
Just do some research and order the parts and put it together on your kitchen table and gain some bragging rights. Don't need anything fancy to assemble it and it'll shoot way above what you'd expect for the price.
We just finished one for my son and doing another now for me. Great choice, these aren't the Savages we remember from the old days, these are top notch guns that will get you right up in the mix at any match.
I agree with the others. Buy the action and parts "You" want for your rifle. These rifles are really pretty easy to put together. That way you get to tell folks you built it and it's exactly what you wanted.
Well the idea of building it myself I am okay with. I have never built a bolt action. I have put together plenty of AR platforms, so I will give it a try. I am looking at 6x47, is their anyone in paticular you guys reccomend to buy the barrel from?
Thanks for all the information. I have dealt with SSS before, they are really good to deal with. I am wanting to with the 6x47L. Before it's built I may change my mind again. I have a .308, wanting something with a little less recoil.
I built a few rifles with them, basically replicating an existing design in other calibers (the Savage Euro Classic series, now discontinued).
Cost is up to your dealer - they sell the rifles at a slight markup, but mention an MSRP to your dealer. I'm guessing 99% of the time that is what he charges, but mine told me what it cost him and as I did all the work he basically treated it as a transfer (+ taxes of course, as it was a sale instead of a real transfer)
I'd use them if I thought their catalogue line didn't provide what I really wanted. I'd let my dealer initiate the order and provide me with his own as-delivered pricing. I honestly believe my own particular dealer would give me the best pricing available.
But those concepts I might want that they don't offer are rapidly becoming nonexistant. About the only area I think they may be lacking in right now is a .280 Rem chambering.

True story that they have most every option covered. As far as ordering through a dealer there is pretty much zero markup on the "custom" guns so sometimes it is easier to just have them deliver it for you.
