[QUOTE="emn83, post: 712562, member: 41957"] well, except the cosmetics. it all started last January, I got sick of the factory stock on my Savage 11, and ordered a stock from Stockade. Then in April, I got the hankering for a heavier barrel, so I called up Kevin Rayhill, and by June had made up my mind, and put in the order for him to do the barrel on the rifle, and had him throw a heavy recoil lug on it for good measure. Come late July, I sent him the rifle, for inspection, and so he'd have it when the barrel came in. Then, last week, I got the call I had been waiting for, Valkyrie was coming home. [IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/dinsmore83/1030121639.jpg[/IMG] some Specs: Savage action, timed and trued (I guess she was pretty out of spec, and Kevin trued her), with a Stockade tactical bolt handle. Stockade Rollover Cheek Thumbhole stock (money saver option, I still need to do the finishing touches) Benchmark barrel: 26" 1:11 twist, recessed crown Stockade heavy recoil lug EGW 20 MOA 1 piece base Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14X40 scope (I had it beofre, it goes away after Deer season) Burris Signature ZEE rings I have rounds loaded to establish my max load, had a box of 155 Bergers, so I'll be trying them out, this is mainly a 600 yard gun, for competition, and, as of now, a 200-300 yard gun for deer. it's been getting colder out, so looks like on Thursday when I go, temps will be in the low to mid 30s, but gotta get her ready for deer season. (I have a box of accubonds for that) [/QUOTE]
